Yeah, I’m not sure how often these tools will really help me with the things that end up destroying my time when programming, which are stuff like:
1) Shit’s broken. Officially supported thing kinda isn’t and should be regarded as alpha-quality, bugs in libraries, server responses not conforming to spec and I can’t change it, major programming language tooling and/or whatever CI we’re using is simply bad. About the only thing here I can think of that it might help with is generating tooling config files for the bog standard simplest use case, which can sometimes be weirdly hard to track down.
2) Our codebase is bad and trying to do things the “right” way will actually break it.
