'“It’s more fun to write code than to read code,” said Simon Willison, an A.I. fan who is a longtime programmer and blogger, channeling the objections of other programmers. “If you’re told you have to do a code review, it’s never a fun part of the job. When you’re working with these tools, it’s most of the job.”'
I don't recognise this at all, not in myself, neither in the well functioning teams I've been a part of.
Executing and reviewing code is the job. That's the core thing we do. Writing code is just a fluent activity, like walking or absentmindedly spinning a pen between the fingers.
- simonw 1y agoYeah, I agree. I said that because I've heard other programmers say it - which I guess is hinted at by the "channeling the objections of other programmers" part of that quote.
