not sure if anyone knows. how good would a bigquery-sql to scala parser generated code would be? can i use it without having to dig into generated code?
- matthewsinclair 2y agoNow I am at a point with it where I’m watching just about every line of code it generates, at least to the extent that I’m reading it to ensure that it’s following the required patterns and not doing something crazy. I made the mistake of letting it go off on its own in the first few iterations before I realised just how crazy it could get if left unattended. Once I stopped doing that and held the yoke more frequently, I got much better results. It was generating far _less_ code but the code it generated was far _more_ useful. I think I threw away about 40% of the code it generated over the course of the exercise. Which is where the realisation came from that it is sometimes easier to just throw stuff away and start again with a better question than it is to try and iterate garbage into something that works.
- apwell23 2y agothen why does everyone keep saying 'cost has plummeted to zero' . am i crazy or is this some emperor has no clothes type situation.
- matthewsinclair 2y agoI think you might be misunderstanding what I’m saying, or I’m not being clear enough (apologies). The simple fact is that yes, I’m watching it, but it’s way faster at typing than me. So it’s often easier for me to tell it to just throw away a whole chunk of code and rewrite it than it would be for me to rewrite it on my own.
