My solution had to be reviewed.
Provided was a checklist containing all of the things that I had to revise.
I consulted my reviewer regarding certain review points because, as they were, if I followed the recommended revisions, they will make the solution memory inefficient.
So I was saying, "...if I follow this recommendation, it will make the code memory inefficient."
After a series of questions and answers regarding my previous statement, my reviewer asked something like, "Sino ka ba to say that this code is inefficient?"
I gracefully uttered, "Sun certified naman ako."
My reviewer replied, "'Yun lang."
After some more talk, I yielded. And yes, nasunod ang recommendation ni reviewer. "It's part of the standards". Hopefully I will be able take part of making and maintaining the coding standards.
After that faithful encounter, I really felt awkward especially since katapat lang ng puwesto ko lang yung sa kaniya. Kasi may something naman talaga doon sa conversation namin 'di ba?
Pero ngayon, okay naman kami ni reviewer. I think that its just part of the job especially since it is his ass that will burn if ever anything unwanted happens with what the code does. I never took it personally. Yes, nagfeefeeling professional ako.
Fortunately for me, I love being challenged and being questioned especially regarding things that I know.
Hindi po ako regular. Special ako... Special!
