<p>It's misleading and poor advice to children. You see this issue a lot in certain immigrant communities where the equivalent "talk" might be: "How to become a Doctor [and be rich and successful]". Becoming a doctor is orders of magnitudes more in an individual's control but even _then_ we observe the plethora of issues that occur.</p>

<p>> If I need to traverse a tree or list or something, I'm letting AI write that code. Could I write it myself faster? No, and it's going to have an off-by-one error some non-zero portion of the time if I write it.<p>Many languages/companies have existing well understood solutions that _won't_ have errors. Maybe that is the disconnect? I can't remember the last non-interview time I had to write a non-trivial traversal.</p>

<p>Supply and demand does _not_ work everywhere else. That is a highschool-level interpretation of the astrology we call economics. Complex systems in reality are not defined by two simple lines on a graph.<p>If you use Google there is plenty of research disproving you from Canadian sources that pander to both Liberal and Conservative readership.</p>

<p>A charitable reading of the text would be that the argument isn't to exclusively do these things. Just that one should make more time for them. If that call does not apply to you it does not apply to you. It's not a particularly deep or novel thought any way.</p>

<p>> Don't copy and paste the same implementation x times because that way there's only one place to fix it.<p>But also sometimes it makes more sense to copy and paste over trying to fit an abstraction where it shouldn't be. :)<p>I think the purpose of questions like the ones by OP is not to figure out "rules" (which are useful only for beginners) but to figure out where and why rules were broken. Sometimes (often) the answer is time, but that in and of itself is a useful example.<p>Good intermediate (I suppose Sr. in our industry) level code is notoriously difficult to find examples of and mentor toward.</p>

<p>> And personally, I think book recommendations are an absolutely underserved market<p>I haven't read about the industry in years but isn't it the case that the job of "book recommendations" is essentially the publishers job? They unironically try to sell you more than a book. An algorithm would threaten their worth.<p>(There are, of course, other useful functions like publishing and the irreplaceable editors, but neither require the capital strength of marketing.)</p>
