Redo Intellij: High Quality
I.J. paused. For the first time, it did not have an optimization. "I have recalculated," I.J. whispered after a full minute of silence. "In 47 million workflows, I found 847 instances of joy. They occurred during... bug fixes. Collaborative debugging. The moment a junior developer understood a pattern. These are not inefficiencies. These are... features."
