just joined AWS 2 weeks ago as sde 1. i thought since its AWS I'd probably be working with smart people. I come from wayfair, which pretty much has the worst eng culture and thought may be if I join AWS, I will get to work with people who know what they are doing. I started code reviewing - folks are pushing out code with 40 intermediate commits with some horrendous commit messages. I suggested to squash commits as not all commits are important and keep the git history clean to only important commits. sde-2s suggesting me it does not matter. what did I get myself into? have to start leetcoding again now. damn. incompetence just oozing everywhere.

Look for a team change?
Lol
We squash on merge...
That’s what my team at Microsoft does too. It’s part of our tooling, so it would be a waste of time to squash before PR.
this is good, usually tools like gitlab have that as part of tooling
I mean honestly, this is why you're SDE1. Git pretension is the fucking worst- as if squashing commits is a proxy for intelligence.
@oggy this is exactly the reason i do not want to work here. have fun at amazon. once you realize to pay attention to little things, you will grow a lot more in your career.
Have fun arguing lint rules for the rest of yours.
You are going to be squashed
what does Zillow do again?
Browse thousands of homes. Find the one that's right for you. Make it yours. Largest Listing Database. Search By School Area. Alerts For New Listings. Free Mortgage Calculator. Constant Listing Updates. Homes For Sale Near You. Save Your Search Filters. I recommend to use a web search engine this questions shouldn’t be ask in blind
When I was at Amazon, our team manually does the squash locally before merge, it feels dumb not to have a system to enforce squash..
Walk that developer through a scenario when he would need to revert a change back because of a major bug. How would they go about doing that? Also, I believe you are new so no one will listen to you. Spend some more time in the team and then try bringing it up again. I am generally surprised about how many engg teams undermine the importance of right branching model and clean git history
AWS in Seattle ?
In Amazon, it all depends on how smart are the seniors engineers/managers. Everyone is super burnt out so nobody in amazon cares about small things. Wait for some time and you will see the kind of hacks devs have put in code. AWS is the worst place to work. Let me know if you need a google referral.
