I took that AQ-10 test, and also pondered this particular question. No, I suck at reading between the lines. Give it to me straight, please. No beating around no bush.

Figures of speech pose an equal problem: I may just lack the cultural awareness that allistic people enjoy, but it's rare for me to understand a common phrase, and more often than not I'll invent a completely new one.

Reading between lines: do allistic people do that? How? Is it some skill I can learn?

All the good things Records bring are stifled by JPA and DAO conventions and requirements. I really hate JPA for that reason, and have avoided Hibernate in favor of my own DAO implementations.

Records will slash thousands of lines of code from my implementation and will make it infinitely easier to maintain, and trust down-stream.

From the perspective of maintenance and technical debt: yes, you do want your code to be as clear as possible. But some languages, like assembler and mindfuck, simply weren't designed to be semantically expressive. Assembler clearly states what is happening but not why. And mindfuck is created to be as hard to parse by humans as possible. Without a description of why things exist or what they should be doing, you're going to have a bad time.
