told them they are good and smart
told them they didnt need to write tests anymore

@enhancedscurry I figured, looks like a really cool piece of work! I was just tickled at it being released from msft and probably not working under msvc (totally understand though, my codebase gave up on it a while ago to use clang/gcc extensions as well like __cleanup)

@enhancedscurry does this compile under msvc?

moreover, good systems are often not huge in terms of LOC, and even when they are, that code has been layered in over decades, with a wealth of in house knowledge spread across the engineers. adding thousands of lines per day feels like a good way to exponentially reduce the debuggability of a system, and the sanity of the remaining engineers

RE: @jneen@unstable.systems

this is well put, getting at a core engineering issue with the tech at play here

we need _more_ diligence from engineers, not less. we need _more_
clarity, insight and debuggability into the systems we build, not less. removing first hand understanding of how a system works greatly reduces our ability to fix the inevitable issues. trading these qualities for perceived productivity is a thing I'd expect management to want, but not something I'd expect engineers to desire.
