    You have been. Everyone reading this post is using code touched by them, up and down the stack.

    This is obvious from the new bugs in everything after every update

      I was working as a programmer up until 2020 when I lost my job due to covid and then subsequently switched industries.

      There have been things like textual code autocomplete since at least 2015 so if you’re take is everything’s bad now because automation tools then you have to look back over a decade to really make that determination.

      I remember doing TDD using auto generated testing around 2017-2018 time, I know for a fact that Facebook did a huge code rewrite around that time to make use of things like CSS pre-compilers (which I gather are basically redundant now because CSS has been updated to be actually useful).
