I struggle with this. I work with devs who think that a function with 3 side effects is fine, and suggestions that it would be more maintainable if it did one thing (and even more offensive, that the function name should be a clue to what the function does) are often met with hostility. In the end they're angry and resistant and I'm frustrated. Sometimes I just approve it, write a technical debt ticket, and move on.

Anger and frustration is obviously not an appropriate response to constructive feedback offered in earnest, but do you have any insight into why they respond that way? Like naïveté as to why it's usually a bad idea to do that, them misinterpreting your intent, or redirected aggression from another source of frustration (like workload, deadlines, etc.)?
