Oh yeah, that's easy. I don't expect to be able to follow "highly-context-dependent" code snippets. The codebase I work on has a bunch of Ruby scripts with "highly-context-dependent" bits of code in them that I have to occasionally dive into to find out why they're failing. Elsewhere in this thread people are complaining about how few Ruby jobs there are. I'm eliminating one of those jobs. I replace each script with Python, or Java / Kotlin. I don't have the time to learn about all of these contexts. And I can't afford to hire people who want to specialize in Ruby. And typical engineers can't intuit about them, so nobody can properly support them. But those engineers can typically intuit between Java and Python just fine. I understand that there is Portuguese poetry and that I may not understand it. But I don't mix it into a book of English poetry.
