I hope the next evolution in software development includes caring about what your stack traces look like. Pattern based development is especially noisy that way. By the time you find a value going wrong you’ve forgotten why you needed to know that.


I totally agree.

Lately I've been seeing "A Philosophy of Software Design" by John Ousterhout making waves with more experienced developers, and I definitely think it's going in the right direction of having richer abstractions and focus on DX rather than forcing the atomization of source code.
