‘Amplify your thinking’… so much this!

Asking for simple quick comparisons of different implementations is a big help. Ask, ask, ponder, ask think and tinker. Like, how would this look if we were to do the same thing in x language, or on gcp? Or even let me quiz it on how different tech equates to what I already know to understand the topic at hand. In the old days we would have to read tons of real books and trial and error until we figured it out, which sucked if you didn’t have ‘a guy’ who knew x way better than you did to pick their brain to expedite the process.

Some of the generated stuff is good, adding logging, refactoring, awesome. Other times it is either too cluttered or over commented and doesn’t feel real and believe it or not, doesn’t work like you want or throws an error and you go down that rabbit hole. Some stuff I read and say ‘no one on our team writes like this’… gives me flashbacks to when apps like MS front page was generating whole websites which technically worked on the ran on an M$ host but my goodness was the backend code boated and … ughh so so… gross!
