As a developer, one of the most frustrating things I've encountered is a poor local development experience.

Little things can accumulate into real frustration...

๐Ÿ”ด Your IDE takes 30 seconds longer than it should to open your solution...
๐Ÿ”ด Your solution takes 30 - 60 seconds longer than it should to build...
๐Ÿ”ด Your unit tests take minutes to run rather than seconds...

Imo you should not use technical logging (as in std:out via slf4j or similar) for business functionality like audit logs or reports.

It is too easy for developers to break something accidentally by changing a log statement in the code. You are using a mechanism for business functionality, that was not meant for it. Technical and business stuff get mixed up in the log file or your log aggregator. Logging is much harder to test than explicit APIs.

1/8 - Great video from @davefarley77. Iโ€™ve had about half the length of his career, and maybe a fraction of his experience (heโ€™s actually the person who taught many of the folks I tend to learn from). But itโ€™s funny how much our thinking aligns. I share basically all of his "regrets".

This sounds like it was written by someone who works at a company that I work for. But we don't have anyone with that name, which means it must be a widespread disease.

๐Ÿš€ Just started using an AI coding assistant? Amazing! But beware: even AI-generated code can carry hidden โ€œdebt.โ€

Studies show lowโ€‘quality code has 15ร— more bugs. If you blindly accept AI suggestions, you could be building future headaches.

Action tip: Always run an automated quality scan (SonarQube, CodeScene) on AIโ€‘authored code. Catch issues before they slow you down!

I consider the scenario where one vehicle tells another one where to get food, and run a #thoughtExperiment with crow tool use. I find programs want to alternate autonomous action with human-in-the-loop interpretive collaboration.
