He primarily programs with Clojure.
Most developers accidentally bloat their codebases by passing 'the entire jungle' when they only need a banana. By tightening your function parameters and mastering the asymmetry between generic inputs and specific return types, you can eliminate redundant checks and make your code naturally resilient to change.
Technical debt is the hidden tax on every line of code you write, but most teams only notice when productivity grinds to a halt. From deliberate shortcuts to the slow decay of bit rot, ignoring the 'interest' on your engineering decisions leads to inevitable system failure. The solution isn't to avoid debt entirely, but to manage it with the same rigor as your financial budget.
