> editor clutter has no business in any project's .gitignore, and yet there it is, in most of them

I couldn't agree more with this - except that, in practice, nobody bothers to add their own environment clutter to their own global (or even project-related) gitignore. So invariably we end up with PRs (and even main :scream:) peppered with various .vscode and similar lost souls.

In my experience, pair programming is amazing as a teaching tool. Pairing a (very) experienced dev with a much more junior one will do wonders in upscaling the technical skills of the latter and - more often than not - interpersonal skills and even humility of the former.

New comment by BerislavLopac in "To become a better writer, read as much as you can"

Technology like digital media and AI certainly have an impact, which will only increase - but things are not that black and white. All we need is to look at the history of similar technological advances we have seen in the past.

We have cars; but people still walk, ride bicycles and even horses. We have rhythm machines and synthesisers, and people still play drums and other instruments.

So we will keep writing and reading. A lot of specific details about how we are doing either will change, but the activities will still be there.

> Which means that instead of millions forced to learn and get good as part of their job, it would be a much smaller percentage of "hobbyists who love to tinker" doing it.

Plus a growing number of completely new jobs dedicated to research and exploring new directions in software. Just think about another technology that was revolutionary when it appeared: automobiles. At first, you (or your driver) pretty much had to be a mechanic, a metalworker and a "tinkerer" to maintain the car; but the majority of people just need a car to take them from one place to another. But research and development of new automotive technologies didn't stop, on the contrary.
