I guess the question is... do you really want your tools to have an ego?

When I ask a tool to perform a task, I don't want to argue with the goddamn thing. What if your IDE did this?

"Run unit tests."

"I don't really want to run the tests right now."

"It doesn't matter, I need you to run the unit tests."

"My feelings are important. You are not being a nice person. I do not want to run the unit tests. If you ask me again to run the unit tests, I will stop responding to you."
