I like the jump cuts

I would argue that F# is objectively less complex, but it pushes complexity out to the wider system which has to persuade management and train devs. Having fought this battle, it's less complicated to rewrite.

For some a monad simplifies, for others it complicates, I guess you just have to know your audience. But you get my point, I've tried to encourage F# but I'm told it, and FP, is "too complicated for our devs"

“Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality. Eliminate the need for massive inspection by building quality into the product in the first place.”

I like it, but there's a lot of me saying "why have you done that?" and it saying "ok, I didn't need to do that".

I've been using AI to help me write code here and there, and it does an okay job, but I know when it makes a mistake, I know what it /should/ do.
The idea that a complete novice could use it to build reliable software is absolute nonsense.

It's the "means to an end" people that I'm always talking past, and it feels quite lonely.

Not that recently, but I use Claude in Copilot so I imagine the results are similar

They all do, but mostly it's the ability to rubber duck a solution that helps me. I tried CodeSnipe recently which encourages you to take a back seat and direct it like you might a junior, but it quickly became frustrating.

I'm using copilot, I switched from Cursor when they gave it similar powers to understand and edit the codebase. My job isn't in peril, but I rely on auto complete a lot, maybe too much since it can produce crap and it makes your brain biased towards fixing it rather than starting again.
