In a plsql block you can use parameters, ref cursors or arrays to return tabular data and do if/then/else/while logic.

I would expect most drivers to support (anonymous) stored procedures so you can batch/pipeline multiple queries into one statement to be executed by the database. Probably more a problem of developers not knowing how to use databases p

Voters in democracies are usually not people who deeply understand issues. We outsource that to politicians, but politicians have a second agenda, serving the people who paid their campaign.

You do need to regulate what is common sense to protect employees. There's a lot of pressure from employers to do things that go against common sense, accidents happen. The employee is hurt, employer doesn't care. A large role of

Sure, it's not yet clear what impact LLMs will have on software development, but the impact it will have will not depend on if developers like to use it or not. If it is going to make software development 10x faster, companies will ado

Works for humans the same? Even if you know how to do a complex project, it helps to first document the approach, and then follow it.

In my experience most AI coding tools can work with databases, especially if you give it an MCP tool to connect to your (development) database. It will generate mermaid er-diagrams by reading from your database catalog, it will generate SQL

Maybe it's about adding knowledge to LLMs, and not how many people read your website? I would be very happy if i had a simple way to get my insights, knowledge and best practices into the next version of an LLM so I have a way to impro

So basically you’re saying that LLMs are rather deterministic?

Agreed, and that is why big countries should also be broken up. No more countries over 50m citizens. Many people in Europe don’t want the EU, but there’s really no alternative when competing with large countries like China and US.

I wrote a swing app a long time ago (20+ years ago) that was used in operating theaters to register organs for transplantation. Swing has saved many lives since. Swing has been good enough for a long time.

You’re free to avoid it but maybe your competition will do it and may outpace you because of it. Conways law just states that architecture follows organizational structure so it’s only to be expected that ai generated software has an ai inf

I expect much of this can be solved with better architecture: smaller, more independent components. Break large code bases up into independent libraries, and LLMs can work again because they need much less code in their context.

I’ve experimented with feature chats, so start a new chat for every change, just like a feature branch. At the end of a chat I’ll have it summarize the the feature chat and save it as a markdown document in the project, so the knowledge is

An LLM within the right context/environment can also converge: just like with humans you need to provide guidelines, rules, and protocols to instruct how to implement something. Just like with humans I’ve used the approach you describe

Agree with the last bit, dev teams are even more non-deterministic than LLMs.
