I think we should also be more ambitious with our dev tooling itself. To me, it doesn't seem like it's catching up with the new speed, and we're still reviewing PRs in a similar way, looking at code in the IDE. Shouldn't this revolutionize as well, at the same time? Are you all using some completely new tools and workflows for the human work left of reviewing and understanding codebases?

No one is clearing the backlog right now, though. Every new change that's incoming is another 5,000 lines of change, and even if that solves the current problem at hand, it creates 5 new follow-up tickets for new edge cases that come from this huge change. At least that's the constant reality I see day to day.

What would taking the the spoon out look like here, though?

Even their sales teams work with GitHub repos, so not that surprising I’d say.

Those are often also people who are in the company for a long time already, not only newly hired. I think AI makes it just so easy to be lazy.

I guess my hope with the face to face is that people take the feedback and learn to do the actual work again. Right now it feels like a lot of this kind of collaboration and what is okay and what no has to be figured out.

That is something I actually have not noticed, do you get pushback like this?

I mean I agree with you, but the reality for many of us is that this is not under our control?

Mostly though if you do anything with the returned value at the call site you need to change that code anyways? If it is not just passing it on, and even then you might need to adapt its signatures. E.g. if you change from String | Null to String you remove the null handling. If you add Null you need to add Null handling?

Thanks for sharing.

But you will end up with something where you can say „this is mine, I did that“ for the rest of your life. Even if no one ever cares. I come back to some of the things I did in the past through hard labour (coding projects, skateboarding videos) and even if it is nice if others appreciate this, they are still always there for myself as sign of what I achieved.

How will fake stars help it getting of the ground?
