Good devs need to start marketing themselves as "I fix bad code written by AI."

Specialization is good to have when you have a big enough team to devote one person to that specific area. And usually by the time you have those resources, your team is going to need those specialists. However...

When starting any software project, before I write a single line of code, I like to do a few things that make development much easier - especially when working on a teams.

Two steps to become a better dev. Step three coming soon...

In the hospital for an infection... again. I guess that's what happens when you don't have an immune system. Last week, I felt an infection coming, but my doctor was slow with checking my lab results. Didn't catch it fast enough, so I'm here...
