The panicky tone of commenters whenever someone points out most of code rn is endless repetition, is hilarious - https://medium.com/@loorinm/coding-is-over-6d653abe8da8 …

Its perfectly understandable IMO for people to get upset when someone says their entire profession “is over”.

And when author of said piece apparently wrote their 1st line of code barely a year ago it doesn’t make it much more palatable.

oh, I wrote my first line less than three years ago, and think this person is making a lot of sense - we DO repeat ourselves

the general idea that we, individually & as an industry, repeat ourselves a lot is definitely something i agree with.

But then following “Coding is dead” & then marvelling how GraphQL is much better than REST is an obvious logical fail given:

a) it was first announced last year b) this would mean lots of devs will be changing from REST 2 GQL i.e. doing the same thing
