Most interesting things in software engineering are (laughably) subjective. Just check out any conversation on dynamic vs static typing, talk to a Rust zealot, or ask a backend engineer if microservices were a mistake. It's unfortunate, and it makes it hard to have proper discussions on these subjects. It would be worthwhile to figure out how we can have more constructive arguments. | ||

Thanks very much for saying this! Frankly, it feels like we should just sidestep arguments entirely and just all contribute our messy data/reports, and then see how we can meld all of it together, to find the best answers for our individual situations. Probably a good use of frontier AI, melding all of that! | ||
