  • Collaboration is a fact of life in software development.

    Therefore we must choose tools based not on a single developer’s preference, but by what their colleagues can use effectively.

    • Tools that are easy to write bugs with (C/C++)
    • Tools that are hard to learn (Perl)
    • Tools that are hard to hire for (Perl, Ruby)

    All of these should be fixed or shunned in favor of languages that are easier to hire, easier to learn, and easier to debug.

    Gave me an outdated answer.

    Gave me another outdated answer to a URL that doesn’t exist.

    Gave me the answer I told it won’t work in the initial prompt.

    Scolded me for swearing at it.

    This is what’s supposed to replace search engines?
