Sometimes it's worth beating the dead horse. I would love it if I can eventually shout the "you-just-need-discipline" people to extinction. They should never win this debate. We must be humble and accept it's in our nature to make mistakes and that we should improve and move the area forward, not constantly scream at each other in favour of something impossible like "well just be 100% disciplined 100% of the time, duh".
- AnimalMuppet 5y ago> I would love it if I can eventually shout the "you-just-need-discipline" people to extinction. You shouldn't. They're partly right. You are correct that "just be 100% disciplined 100% of the time" will fail. But "just get a language/compiler smart enough that I don't need discipline" will also fail.
- pdimitar 5y agoAh, I thought that was a given. You definitely should learn a lot of discipline when you're a junior dev. You should develop eye for details and what feels right or wrong. That takes time and experience and can't be skipped. Speaking from the point of view of a senior dev however, certain practices become ultra tedious and annoying from one point and on. Literal soul crushers.
