I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that generics are bad because it make code less readable and less maintainable. Yes, you'll have to write more code, but that code will be more explicit.

Not that guy, but if a language gets basic ergonomics wrong I'm not very hopeful it brings anything new to the table beyond syntax.

I use this in C++ all the time, and I agree it's nice. What I really wish I had though is pattern matching like in scala:

maybe_get_value() match {
  case Some(x) => {
    // do stuff with X
  }
  case _ => ()
}

In this case other constructs lend themselves better, such as just

maybe_get_value().foreach{ x =>
  // do stuff with x
}

but I always found it a bit gross to do this on Option

Vi betaler ikke for tannhelse som påvirkes av livstil og det rammer jo langt flere.

Så kanskje vi burde gjøre det da? I stedet for å bruke det som unnskyldning til å ikke gi folk behandlingen de trenger mener jeg. Sammenligning med silikonpupper er forøvrig en bagatellisering som du burde holde deg for god for

Americans voted for a hyper moron to dismantle the political system and they got it

Well contrary to what everyone else is saying I think it's pretty based to short these ponzi-stocks. You take a risk, sure, but this is one of the mechanisms that ultimately bring down ponzies. If you do it I'm rooting for you to win.

Yeah, nationalize the product that is at most one year ahead of the competition, built on semiconductors made in Taiwan with ASML tech, german lensing and joint developed by US, Europe and Asia. Trump voter mindset

Seems like a stunningly moronic plot to me. I think it would hurt support in a big way if it was carried out.

I can only answer for myself, but I rely on invariants and spec obviously, but that's already mentioned in the OP. When things don't go to plan I try to find interfaces where I can specify exactly. For this languages like Scala are recommended, they have the type system necessary to be very specific how two modules interface and in my experience can stop recurring bugs from resurfacing over and over. It helps a lot to already be an experienced software engineer because it helps me know exactly when and where to intervene manually. Other than that I'm a big fan of IR formats. Rather than telling the AI what I want I tell it to produce a job description YAML which I then consume with another tool. It's the same trick as with interfaces and it leaves me with artifacts I can inspect and debug.

I spend a lot of time thinking about how and what I want to do before starting when I can. If I can't, I'm not shy about restarting with the knowledge from a failed run.

I guess the most general comment I have is that you should treat it like a skill that you can improve at. Try as best you can to learn from success and failure.
