once upon a time the whole purpose of higher level languages was to eliminate boilerplate, and silently "auto-generate" it in lower level machine code.
Yup. Something I think about a lot: if you have so much boilerplate that you need an AI to help you copy and paste it, you should be thinking about writing better frameworks/languages, not better copy/paste tools.
Unfortunately, designing better frameworks requires high level and long term thinking, and the industry as a whole hates those now.

There's no hyper growth in long-term thinking.

me, giving notice with nothing else lined up amid a sea of industry layoffs, and getting a job offer from a better company (not another fucking startup, lol) eight days later
Trippy:
Did they just not interview you?
Samwise:
They did, it just took so long that I thought they'd ghosted me and was expecting to have to line something else up after quitting the current gig. Instead the timing worked out perfectly. The interview process was weird in general -- no tech screening, just 5 rounds of shooting the shit with 5 different people. Most of the people I talked to have been at the company for more than 20 years and say it's the best job they've had. My last few gigs have been kinda miserable and ended with me quitting in frustration after about a year, but based on the extremely positive rep this place has I'm hoping this is the one that I can stay at until I'm ready to retire.
