@rml the whole way of thinking and talking where there are reified concepts of “senior software engineers” and “best practices”, free-floating ideas of “beginner friendly” and “production quality”/“production ready”, along with a whole class of ever-changing meaningless truisms “actually abstractions are bad”, “actually comments are bad” “everything is a trade off”makes me despair - people are genuinely convinced there is something meaningful about all of the above and become very angry if you doubt the framing
@rml I only wish dijkstra could have lived to see “agile” and its cargo cult
