@nolan@toot.cafe Well... Oof, yeah. If there was anything I would ever really pride myself on after a day of coding, it was DRYing up a massive scroll of stacked booleans into three ifs and a function call. So that is what I might hope might make it in to code I prompt, but... only maybe. If it works, and nobody's checkin' my work, then it works.

@nolan@toot.cafe At sequential jobs, I would send a PR, receive a "nit: formatting" response, fix it, and never get my code rereviewed and merged. When I suggested we add an autoformatter to the git hooks, I got various responses to the tune of 'don't waste too much time on that', but man, the projects I shipped involved rewriting so much old code, wasting time polishing new code feels silly. The llms provide a layer of abstraction, I suppose, where everybody *knows* it's not worth time to polish.

@epiceneVivant@mas.to it's an airlock for putting on your groundsuit (shoes)
