JenniferplusplusSo, what was up last week, when all of tech suddenly decided that writing software isn't good or useful or interesting?
Cuz, I gotta say, that sucks, and you're all wrong.
Like, I really don't get why so many of you are so eager to have statistical models write code for you.
I've been arguing for literally my whole career that the actual writing isn't the hard part of software development. But wow, did everyone take that in the wrong direction recently.
Understanding the system is the hard and valuable part. And I genuinely don't know how you think you're going to do that if you never get to do any of the safe and easy interactions with the system.
Joakim Hagdahl@jenniferplusplus The thing I don't understand is why would you not want to build the mental model of the code and the understanding of how it is all connected? Over time I've learned that the best way for me to learn is to do the thing. Not to give it away to someone or something else. If I see something interesting that someone else has done I want to try it myself to see if I can learn from it.
