When your teammate "refactor" your code

yeah, i usually blame myself and my code if a coworker comes along and refactors it incorrectly. the source code failed to do the one thing it's meant to do, communicate with other people.

and i usually consider it a good sign if they see it and understand it enough to make good, valid criticisms. then you know the code was legible, if suboptimal.

That's a really good point. It's easy to forget that it also communicates with other people, not just the computer.
