@nolan@toot.cafe At sequential jobs, I would send a PR, receive a "nit: formatting" response, fix it, and never get my code rereviewed and merged. When I suggested we add an autoformatter to the git hooks, I got various responses to the tune of 'don't waste too much time on that', but man, the projects I shipped involved rewriting so much old code, wasting time polishing new code feels silly. The llms provide a layer of abstraction, I suppose, where everybody *knows* it's not worth time to polish.

@nolan@toot.cafe I feel grateful the sea change in our profession has happened towards the tail end of my career. I’m fortunate to have worked while craft was valued and mattered, grew to balance that with deadlines and velocity, and now I’m approaching the new era with a kind of horrible wonder. Craft and a critical eye still seem valuable but it’s not yet clear to me how those are best expressed. I share your conclusion- more than anything I’m inspired for more human connection- music, friends, kids.
