> best practice (I loathe that term)

Me too :( One of my coworkers keeps talking about “best practice” all the time. And he writes the most broken garbage of anyone I’ve met in a long time.

I’m often feel like quitting, because I do not enjoy working with him. But I like the company I work for. And I don’t want to spend time trying to find a new job at the moment.

I've found that vague reasons like "it's best practice", "that's the way it should be done" & "that's not scrum" are usually thrown about by people who don't actually know why they're doing that, they just learned it and now feel strongly about it but can't actually back it up.
