Yeah, the race to create the first ugly one-liner to solve the problem has never been interesting to me. Far more fun to play around, explore the correct algorithms and data structures etc. Even on Day 1 this year, you can learn a lot thinking about partial sorting etc. If language models can help me with that then great. I’d be very interested in tools that felt like pairing with the wisest programmer you’d ever met, rather than tools that feel like outsourcing to an admittedly quite fast and clever contractor.
