Programming language doesn’t matter until you need to:
- have actual parallelism
- scale horizontally
- scale vertically
- compile 1m LoC
- incrementally compile 1m LOC
- refactor without breaking anything
- review a large diff
- validate a change
- detect and remove dead code
- maintain backwards compatibility
- get a large team working efficiently
- onboard new hires
- validate the security of a system
- invent custom abstractions to reduce duplication
- work around abstractions someone else invented
- troubleshoot production issues at 2am
- be operationally efficient
- deploy on Friday
- deploy 100 times a day
- handle time & timezones correctly
- handle currency correctly
- eliminate null pointer exceptions
- depend on libraries that are maintained & secure
- produce something of more value than a tweet
There is a lot more happiness in engineering right now if you take the agents for what they can do, and work on your own time. The FOMO of shipping faster and faster gets unhealthy quickly.
