1996. I am learning how to write better code. I read about code wizards automatically generating hundreds of lines of Java / Visual Basic / C / C++. I find the idea so repugnant (why not just use a more expressive language?) that I veer sharp from C++ to Perl.
2026. I am learning how to write better code. I read about AI Agents automatically generating thousands of lines of TypeScript / Python / Rust / C#.
*(sigh)*
I'm not sure I can *veer* exactly, but code wizard 2.0 does not excite me.

I am known for "It works perfectly, it's fast, and it's only xx lines of code" in any role I've been in.
Less code is always better for maintainability. I like maintainability.
