    As someone who started writing software over 20 years ago (yikes I feel old), I feel like a lot of the best practices I’ve come to appreciate are really just strategies for mitigating future pain or boring/uninspiring work. When you eliminate most of the cost of rewriting everything from scratch by a machine that feels nothing, then “best practices” kinda lose their meaning.

    Edit: confusing sentence order.

      And now you know the difference between Intelligence and Wisdom.

      Also everything has a cost. The only time something has no cost is when you decide your life, your time, is meaningless.
