Jason GormanWe spend roughly 10x as much time reading code as we do writing it. A tool or technique that makes you twice as "productive" at writing code *at best* makes you 5% more productive over all. Making your code easier to understand will have 10x the impact. But that doesn't sell tools or put developers out of work, so you won't be reading about it in Forbes.
Graham Lee, D.Phil@jasongorman there's some maths missing here. If I double my writing rate then I double the amount I have to read, so I become 90% worse overall not 5% better.
clacke: exhausted pixie dream boy 🇸🇪🇭🇰💙💛@jasongorman @leeg Yeah. Our job is not to write code. Code in itself is not an asset. Code is a liability we take on in order to solve business problems.
