I embrace my fallibility, and enthusiastically pursue testing, code reviews, staging environments, and so on to minimize the mistakes that make it through to production.

in writing good sql code? i definitely would

ai is not going to replace the senior sql expert with 20 years of battle experience in the short-term but support me who last dug into sql 15 years ago and needs to get a working sql query in a project. and ai usually does a better job than me copy pasting googled code in between quickly browsing through tutorials.
