When I became a lead dev, one of the first issues I had was a 55 y/o dev who begrudgingly adopted git but consistently included commits like: “Monday morning commit”, “changed some things”, “commit”. He also refused to delete issue template examples and included it all with his own additions.

In the entire time we worked together over a few years, he refused to adapt to the rest of the team.

I have younger devs who do the same thing. Some people just do not want a process at all and do not play well with others.

Thanks for this comment. The parent comment came off quite ageist. As though the person in question struggled to keep up with the times. In reality, human dynamics play a big role in software quality. I wonder, could it be that the younger developer who recently became a lead both changed the team dynamics, and has not yet fully mastered the art of motivating fellow team members?
