> My output sometimes rivals that of entire teams' I've been part of, mostly because I get to just code to my heart's content. The fact is that often I code less than most of my peers. Because I prefer spending some time to design suitable data structures/algorithms for the problem at hand. I don't aim for perfection, just that it align with the business domain (and/or the interface) so that future works are proportional with the scope of change requests. This has reflected in small commits because the fundamental core of the business domain rarely changes (when they do, we have bigger problems than my writing speed). So I've never seen the need to increase my writing speed, because there's never any need to do so. What I'd like to increase is the speed the Product team get back to me with answers to my questions. Because that's often the real bottleneck. | ||

> I prefer spending some time to design suitable data structures/algorithms for the problem at hand. I'm doing this at LLM speed now. I feel like I'm doing the work of two whole teams and designing rock-solid software. Rust, strong types, enums, fantastic interfaces, brevity. | ||
