That's a lot better and clearer than "AI code generation" :)

Unfortunately that AI still seems to be caught in winter. While we wait for spring to thaw a new round of hype, maybe something simpler, like "smart datagentry forms" or "data-mapper"?

Really happy about this nicely followed up show hn - logic/prolog and graph DBs seems like such an obvious complement to rdms - and as demonstrated by json/jsonb in postgres - simple document data can be rather nicely shoe-horned into heterogeneous relational systems. But proper graph DBs... Not so much? Nice to see more projects in this space.

It is trying to get something into a snappy form that is clear enough to as many people as possible. I like 'data - mapper' but it still needs explanation, so probably better to leave that stuff to the tutorials and try to highlight something else in a comparison table!
