Okay let's be real, writing code was never the hard part. Understanding the problem, making the tradeoffs, knowing what (not) to build, etc... LLMs made the typing 10x faster but it didn't make the thinking 10x easier.
Also let's not pretend we were writing code in notepad before LLMs. We had frameworks, generators, libraries, intellisense, snippets, autocomplete, StackOverflow (RIP), and an entire ecosystem of abstractions designed to make writing code not *that* tedious.
In other news... @moderneinc is actively hiring at senior/principal level for OSS OpenRewrite, Moderne SaaS, and GTM functions. I welcome conversations with experienced GTM folks and Java developers. DMs always open.

However you feel about checked exceptions as a #Java developer, everyone agrees that a "throws" clause for a checked exception you don't actually throw can be removed. Do so automatically.
I ordered a pixel 4a on 11/25, received an empty box via ontrac on 11/29. I've spent the last 2 weeks dealing with @googlefi, who refuse to ship a replacement until they complete an "investigation". Now I think they're pranking me. A handwritten note? WTF #badcustomerservice
