This is probably more a problem of expectations in pair programming than pair programming. It comes the easiest to extroverted people with "standard" thinking patterns that are mappet to language 1:1, I also have to translate thou

What do you mean? Of course it is, all code is leaky abstractions.
817.
by nathias 5y ago
This is a fairly common sense notion of abstraction (abstraction as abstracting away the details of something), but I don't think its the whole picture. I'm studying abstraction and the best formulation of this aspect I found was

TikTok is the first piece of tech that makes me know I'm old, I can't imagine choosing to view any of this garbage at all. The format of short videos itself is so very cringe.

Because they invested 20 years of majority of online capital into becoming the infrastructure of the web, much like Microsoft spent all of theirs to become the infrastructure of PC. These corporate strategies should be illegal.

Designer is shocked to find out that the corpo-minimalist-copy-paste design isn't universally beloved. So it must be about age or gender or race or something ...
