Every piece of code I write feels like a decision I'm taking responsibility for. If my code doesn't work, or does something it shouldn't, it's on me. So I prefer to take my time and ensure the code is right to the best of my ability.

It’s like with tax software—makers of tax software have an interest in making tax laws overly and needlessly complex.
Makers of “coding LLMs” have an interest in making it impossible to write code manually.

Oh look, a Python package that does exactly what I need! It's lightweight and well-documented, even!
It's unfortunately also unmaintained and depends on an older version of a library my project uses that has since introduced breaking changes 🙃

And one thing I'm quickly realizing about myself is that I have a hard time sympathizing with the idea that "the way the world used to work" is harder than how big tech wants it to work.
I can't shake the feeling that big tech thrives on people who conflate "new" with better.

Last time I tried to use Haskell, it bit me, I got a rare blood disorder, and I had to start medication.
