> Most programming languages are similar enough to existing languages that you only need to know a small number of details to use them: what's the core syntax for variables, loops, conditionals and functions? How does memory management work? What's the concurrency model?
I think that’s correct in terms of the surface-level details but less true for the more abstract concepts.
If you’ve tried any of the popular AI builders that use Supabase/PostgREST as a backend, for instance Lovable, you’ll see that they are constantly failing because of how unusual PostgREST is. I’m sure these platforms have “AI cheat sheets” to try to solve this, but you still see constant problems with things like RLS, for instance.
