part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"

A guide to programming paradigms:
Imperative: functions can have side effects
Functional: functions must be pure
Reversible: functions must be pure and bijective
Analytic: functions must be pure, bijective and infinitely differentiable
Agile: functions must take part in daily standups
