As many as fit in a period of time it takes a better generation of developers to grow up

Unfortunately I think devs nowadays (me included) are insanely bad compared to the devs back in the day who actually had to learn about their computers.

Somehow we've decided to trust and connect everything. It became industry standard, because it's convenient. It's a side effect of complexity.

Even if you're skilled, if you are forced into these practices, then you will take shots. Decision making is the core problem here, a side effect of skill and agency.

It only takes as much time until the golden "make no mistakes" proompt finally works. Must be any day now as Altman and Amodei promised us developers will not exist anymore in 12 month about 18 month ago.
