Sure but then incentivize engineers to hack it out knowing they'll have to deal with the shit show if you become successful. Sorry but most "startup engineers" aren't , and it's basically bad for their careers to i

I've always been surprised at people who don't version dependencies, even though package managers like npm support this easily. Then they complain of "DEPENDENCY HELL omg" when they've got "*" as a versio

Claude Code is just a nicer dev experience, especially with simpler stuff. I've seen Gemini do much better with Svelte as well.

Sure, I know there's companies like that, but just as often in my experience engineers are spoon fed tickets without broader context. In many cases are also treated like an interruption if you want to discuss to root issues etc with P

We need to look for the structural reasons we can't make a cheaper car compared to China. I don't believe it's all "we pay people too much" either. Autoworkers aren't paid that much.
