Developer efficiency myths and truths
- jamesbritt 19y agoNothing new on the list; mostly a combo of Joel Spolsky & PG. One exception: "For example, many of the languages that can be written extremely quickly thanks to type inference or syntactic tricks are often difficult to follow when they are maintained. The two minutes worth of typing saved can cause an hour of wasted time down the road." Um, sometimes, given that crap code can be written in any language, but I find that the more concise languages are easier to read and maintain in the long run.
