I write code. On a good day perhaps 800-1000 "hand written" lines. I have never actually thought about how much typing time this actually is. Perhaps an hour? In that case 7/8th of…

I guess everyone dealing with legacy software sees code as a cost factor. Being able to delete code is harder, but often more important than writing code. Owning code requires you …

That is a completely different level. I expect a Junior Developer to be able to completely replace me long term and to be able decide when existing rules are outdated and when they…
