> This. Set up your dev env and pay attention to details and get it right. Introducing function declarations before knowing what assembly instructions you need to generate is asking for trouble before you even really get started accruing tech debt.

Old heads cling to their tools and yell at kids walking on lawns, completely unaware that the world already changed right under their noses.

We know the "world has changed": that's why we're yelling. The Luddites yelled when factories started churning out cheap fabric that'd barely last 10 years, turning what was once a purchase into a subscription. The villagers of Capel Celyn yelled when their homes were flooded to provide a reservoir for the Liverpool Corporation – a reservoir used for drinking water, in which human corpses lie.

This change is good for some people, but it isn't good for us – and I suspect it's not really good for you, either.
