It’s been my experience as of recently. I point it at an issue tracker and ask it to investigate, write a test to reproduce the problem and plan a fix together. There’s lots of hand holding from me but it saves me a lot of work and I’ve been surprised by its comfort with legacy code bases. For now I feel empowered, and I’m actually working more intensively, but I was wondering to myself if I’m going run out of work this year. Interestingly, our metrics show that output is slowed by increased workload on reviewers.

Also relied on government subsidies until recently.

I worked with XSLT almost from the beginning of my career and it was a blessing in disguise. Shoutout to Michael Kay.

I had a good experience with the Java Lanterna library
