Absolutely no one in the value chain cares about “how many layers of abstractions your code has - not your management or your customers. They care about functional and none functional requirements


Of course they don’t. Please reread what I said, give it the slightest bit of thought, and re-respond if you want a response from me.


By definition, coding agents are right now the worse they will ever be and the industry as a whole by definition is the least experienced it will ever be at using then.

So many people on HN are so insulted that the people who put money in our bank accounts and in some cases stock in our brokerage accounts ever cared about their bespoke clean code, GOF patterns and they never did. LLM just made it more apparent.

It’s always been dumb for PR to be focused on for loops vs while loops instead of focusing on whether functional and non functional requirements are met


Wow you have completely lost the plot. It’s like you’re a bot that’s mixing up who he’s replying to.


Just maybe you aren’t making the strong argument you think you are making


I wouldn’t know sir, because you didn’t address a single lick of it. You went off and argued with some other argument you constructed in your head. I believe we have a name for that. It is an awfully good way to win arguments in your own mind and retain unshakable confidence in your position if that’s your goal though.


Again exactly what argument are you making then? Maybe you should spend more time being clear about your argument? An LLM might help…


Well there’s a numbered list if you’ll read back a few messages. That should be easy for even the most LLM addled brain to digest.

But instead you went off and had your own party arguing with someone (it certainly wasn’t me) about number of layers, GoF patterns, and “clean” code.
