alt Hacker NewsTechnologies were imposed by management whether it made sense or not. Like, “all data exchange formats now have to use XML”, or “all applications must be J2EE now”, because it was the new hot thing. “You” weren’t making that choice, management imposed it. That’s the parallel I’m drawing.

One person hand coding and one person having Claude still results in the same output that is compatible with each other.
This is more like mandating that you use vim. I’ve never some something like that before in 20+ years.
