R – Is it fair to be held up to mockery for preferring to run “mvn clean install” as 2 commands

maven-2performance

One of my team mates was held up for mockery by the team leads for preferring to run maven as:

$ mvn clean
$ mvn install

The discussion by the team leaders was about efficiency and speed of work & someone brought up the issue that person X is continuing to split

$ mvn clean install

into 2 separate commands. I know, I know that life is unfair but why would something so innocuous be an impediment to project progress. Would this be an issue for you in your team ?

Dude, you've got serious team-leadership and more generally team-cohesion issues. The bananoseconds that might possibly be "wasted" by running maven twice are nothing, but what this episode suggests about human relationships in the team is big, and sad. Where's management? Are they aware of this? Would they even care? Depending on such issues, my advice might be to print out your resume on the good printer -- hiring is warming-to-heating up again (at least in Silicon Valley), and sticking with a dysfunctional team is not necessarily a necessary evil to keep putting bread on the table...!
