I have often been told when advocating for team autonomy that some teams want to be told what to do. They often feel uncomfortable when making decisions.

Feels notable that Iterator helpers have become Baseline Newly available. The gist is that you can map and filter on stuff that was annoying or impossible to before. I’ll copy Jeremy Wagner’s example:

@kentbeck.com is a legend in software engineering: and after coding for 52 years, he's never had more fun than now, he told me. Why? AI agents brought back the joy of creating software without the stuff that he's started to hate about coding.
