executives who cant be trusted to hit the save button on an excel spreadsheet forcing developers to use LLMs to cut labor costs deserve the code that is produced

I don’t agree with this at all. syntax highlighting is more useful when looking at small chunks of code. I only need to know the difference between the two words next to each other, or if I properly closed a string definition.

I should memorize my theme colors? give me a break. the only one I need to know is which one is a string, the rest are “code”

I wouldn’t vehemently disagree with this so much if the article didn’t make so many assumptions, and was in a more conversational tone. “Getting it wrong” sounds pompous, but if you just talked about how YOU used syntax highlighting, I wouldn’t care so much
