So even more work than actual coding.

That’s not all! It’s also less rewarding!

Yup. It's insanity that this is not immediately obvious to every software engineer. I think we have some implicit tendency to assume we can make any tool work for us, no matter how bad.

Sometimes, the tool is simply bad and not worth using.

Early adopters will be rewarded by having better methodology by the time the tooling catches up.

Too busy trying to dunk on me than understand that you have some really helpful tools already.
