There's nothing better than verbosity on large projects, especially in rarely-touched areas (build/test/deploy infra). The perfect anti-pattern example is sbt.

There's nothing better than verbosity on large projects, especially in rarely-touched areas (build/test/deploy infra). The perfect anti-pattern example is sbt. It shortened commands to unintelligible codes, even though you need to write it maybe once per year. And by the way, you never write full lines anyway, autocomplete knows what to write using just 2-3 keystrokes, even without any AI. So verbosity doesn't affect writing speed anyway.
