About this episode
The episode discusses the changing nature of software craftsmanship and the impact of modern tools on learning and engagement with code.
Getting unstuck has gotten so cheap that Ben can't remember the last time he actually learned something at work — and the struggle he's skipping was where knowing the code, and caring about it, used to come from. This week is a conversation about what software craftsmanship even means anymore, when the tools are happy to do the caring for you. Follow the show and be sure to join the discussion on Discord !
