I don’t have an opinion on the topic but I see a blind spot in your argument, so I have to be that kind of person … 🥺
One could use the exact same example to argue that humans are very bad at parsing code (especially if whitespace kicks in). In that regard a tool that allows them to reason on a standardized representation of the AST can be a protection against a whole class of attacks.
Yeah, I suppose OP is from the US ?
As some others mentioned it depends on context. My project managers do a lot of shit I don’t want to do : handling budgets, discussing project scope with clients, handling authorization request to external APIs (I’m in a big company) and also most PO stuff (writing tickets and handling sprint ceremonies).
Sometime they are a bit annoying because they freak out about deadlines and ask question every 10min while you try to focus and actually solve the bug, but at least they are self aware that it is because they feel helpless in this kind of situation 😛
Also, more about the proxy thing, sometime I have to explain technical things that simplifies and then they will probably explain it again to clients with a second layer of simplification. But I usually never hear about this again, which probably means that they manage to reassure client and maybe add a bit of bullshit on parts that don’t really mater, which spares me a lot of time overall.
I see a lot of people saying that your managers are bad managers, but I think your organization also put them in a badly defined role.
Tbh I am not surprised there are people who don’t know what cut is. When I was in school a lot of people around me though it was just the graphical button to delete things. I think UI tried to solve the problem since them : cutting won’t delete a file but will just shade it, which makes it more obvious that you should do another action.
Same issue but with sleep time 😱

Well, “YOUR CODE IS GARBAGE” seems like flaming.
You, send the same message without this and it achieves exactly the same thing without the “taking it all out on someone” part 🤷
I agree : CI is required as a safety belt and then contributers can choose the workflow they prefer : format on save, manual invoke, precommit, …
Oh yeah, so I’m that other kind of guy 🥺
I kinda like your idea, but I think it can be difficult to detect some confusing situations. I think it would be a better idea, but I don’t think it’s a full replacement.
