> I have spent a lot of time trying to mentor these sorts of devs and help them to understand why just doing the bare minimum isn't really a good investment in their own career not to mention it's disrespectful of their colleagues who now need to waste time puzzling through their nonsense and eventually (inevitably) fixing their bugs... Seems to get through about 20% of the time.
I've seen that, though fortunately only in one place. Duplicated entire files, including the parts to which I had added "TODO: deduplicate this function" comments, rather than change access specifiers from private to public and subclass.
By curious coincidence, 20% was also roughly the percentage of lines in the project which were, thanks to him, blank comments.
