Turns out, at least in this experiment, telling an #LLM to write better code actually helps. (Also, perhaps a rare time Betteridge's Law is disobeyed.)

Not familiar with Betteridge’s Law? Google it (or ask your favorite AI). Today’s #AI is messy, but sound engineering will catch up. Half-baked products skew perceptions, but quality systems are possible. (See s1.ai/purple 😉) The Wright Flyer was pretty wobbly too on its first few flights.

Artem Zakirullin argues that reducing cognitive load in code—especially extraneous complexity—is key. Simplify conditionals, use clear names, and avoid deep nesting. Clean code is easy on the brain of a #developer. #programming

Cognitive load is what matters
There are so many buzzwords and best practices out there, but let's focus on something more fundamental. What matters is the amount of confusion developers feel when going through the code.
