These business types only learning enough to prompt an AI will eventually get tired of prodding the AI to fix things, unless Masad here is also selling an AI that will monitor and maintain your infrastructure for you too. They don't ev

Anecdata, but I agree. I went from a recursive CTE (that occasionally would take 1GB+ of memory for zero rows) to a loop and used AI to do it, and it did a pretty good job

This seems logical to me, there have been times when I wanted to hop off a deep dive after watching enough and wanted to move to something else. But I was probably immune to suggestion before getting to that point. That satisfaction thresho

I need an AI agent to continuously ask questions of PMs or stakeholders until the requirements are less vague. The good thing is this would be a plain english discussion which LLMs are good at. A PM can ask if something is technically feasi

If they want to pay more to maintain legacy messes, then I'm fine with more rules. That shows the business wants it done right. They don't though, so I can't agree with putting in more work for no extra compensation. I know t

Remembering a controversial take over the code produced/improved is evidence to me that the matter is not settled that we should be spending the extra effort to align our practices with the article. The incentives are not there.

To be fair, the previous engineers got paid to write the legacy mess and were employed for a long time if there's a lot of it. Where is the incentive to go the extra mile here? Do you eventually put up with enough legacy mess, pay your

My advice is to sleep on those kinds of improvements. Optimize things that are making your job/team's daily life more difficult, which directly translate into better WLB. You can sometimes knock significant hours-per-week off of y

It's why you get user feedback before it goes into development. Then the developers don't have to question/gamble whether things are good for the users. If you can't answer that with evidence, then you are guessing at wh
