Right, I've noticed agents are very trigger happy with 'any'. I have had a good time with Rust. It's not nearly as easy to skirt the type system in Rust, and I suspect the culture is also more disciplined when it comes to 'unwrap' and proper error management. I find I don't have to explicitly say "stop using unwrap" nearly as often as I have to say "stop using any". | ||

LLMs are minimizing energy to solve problems, and if they can convince the human to go away happy with 'any', so be it. There's a fine line between gradient descent, pedantry, and mocking. I suspect we will learn more about it. | ||

Experienced devs coming in to TypeScript are also trigger happy with 'any' until they work out what's going on. Especially if they've come from Javascript. | ||

I’ve tried enforcing no-explicit-any just to have the agent disable the linter rule. I guess I didn’t say you couldn’t do that… | ||
