Studying the good stuff is way more effective that studying the bad. There's way more bad code out there than good; don't you think code at large would be improving if learning from bad code makes you write better code? | null | 0 | 1143660646 | False | 0 | c3od4 | t3_3nn1 | null | null | t1_c3nra | null | 1473822511 | 4 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

Following the law doesn't necessarily mean being honest. If his boss believes that he deserves a bad recommendation (justifiably or not), his boss is being dishonest by giving a good one, regardless of the law.
