@GergelyOrosz It's a shiny new technology. Engineers like shiny new technologies. Just look at NoSQL or micro services. Being told to use shiny new technologies in ways that don't make sense... Not so enjoyable, nor effective (also look at micro services? 😅).

"[AI coding tools like Cursor] increase my enjoyment, as a programmer" THIS is something we don't talk about enough. When a tool makes the job better - eg because it removes the toil that's a drag to do (e.g. refactoring, repetitive stuff) then it's already a big win!
Lee Robinson@leerob

Enjoyed this interview with @clattner_llvm Software engineering isn't going anywhere, and we need more engineers wanting to become masters of their craft. AI coding tools can increase your enjoyment by removing the drudge work. They don't replace your thinking.

@rockthejvm @brunoborges Yeah but everything has its cost. Is this the reason why they didn't manage to implement the "edit" button? Too much playing with the technology? @elonmusk?

@co0lsky @martinfowler @testobsessed You measure productivity and quality. The idea is momentum is better than urgency at boosting those metrics. That said, be cautious with metrics. Quality is subjective and hard to measure. Productivity metrics can be gamed (you can "increase" velocity by making stories smaller)

@jdegoes Absolutely! A massive motivation for Scala is to be comfortable changing your code.

Then a huge one for @runarorama and his "Constraints Liberate, Liberties Constrain" which is the most influential talk I ever watched. I keep finding myself referencing it almost every week and it hugely affected my thinking about software design. #ScalaThankYou

In case someone is wondering about the timing, the PR was stuck for a few days due to an issue with our CI. Once we fixed the CI, the bot rebased the PR (of course)

Cats 2.0.0 is released. The major version is bumped mainly because we broke binary compatibility on cats-laws (together with alleycats and cats-testkit), but the core modules: cats-cores and cats-kernels remain binary compatible with Cats 1.x. Kudos to all contributors!

@AlanJay1 I agree that's a valid concern. Thank you for the thread Alan! 🙂

My biggest concern is where does this leave underrepresented women and minorities? Are they voting with their feet, instead of their voices, as they empirically have to date? /END

@DrEugeniaCheng I didn't consider that women would experience it more. I don't want that to be the case, but I can believe it. 😔

@Grogs It sounds a little like you're trying to invalidate my experience but I'm not sure. Also have you considered that women in a male dominated field will get much more of it?

Thankfully "show how clever you are" questions seem to be way less common than I thought before I started speaking. Plus I think the audience can tell the difference.
Dr Eugenia Cheng --no advice please--@DrEugeniaCheng

I have taken to starting Q&A sessions by saying that there are two types of questions: the ones where you want to understand something and the ones where you want to show how clever you are, and I will take all the first type and none of the second type.

@DrEugeniaCheng I'm sorry it came across that way. Your tweet resonated with me. But I don't want people to be put off from speaking because of potential awkward/aggressive questions as it's happened less than I feared.
