Receiving feedback can be hard…
It’s natural to feel defensive…
Especially when it’s about the code you spent hours crafting.

The Problem with trying to define Wellbeing is that there is no one size fits all definition...

Shutting down the conversation because you're uncomfortable with change or cannot see someone else's perspective is not cool... (Ok, neither is saying "cool" - I know!)
It doesn't show your confidence and it doesn't show strong leadership, quite the opposite.

"The inability of developers to tell if a tool sped them up or slowed them down is fascinating in itself, probably applies to many other forms of human endeavour, and explains things as varied as why so many people think that AI has made them 10 times more productive, why I continue to use Vim, why people drive in London, etc."

Premise: You vibe code kids don't know hard work!
Millennial: I used to have to open a web browser, type a URL, go to a site called Stack Overflow, and copy-paste code into my repository.
GenXer: I used to have to type the code into my editor after I found a snippet in a book or magazine.
