As always with AI - somehow it's your fault - you didn't help it enough - your prompts were inaccurate, your context was too large, the thinking effort was too low, the model was too old, etc. Basically you failed to use your human intelligence to make every effort to enable the AI to do its job better than you ))) It's like pushing a dirtbike up the hill so you can demonstrate how well it climbs.

Cooking a steak is easy - undercook it's "rare", burn it - it's "Well done". You cant go wrong really.

Re:Learn SQL Once, Use It for 30 Years
on Thursday June 04, 2026 @04:22AM (#48395747)
The power of SQL is not because it is "based on mathematics" - it's because anyone (really, anyone, even with the most basic English skills) could understand it quickly enough to start using it productively with not much technical knowledge. Business analytics, managers of all sorts, manual QA people could grasp the basics in a minute and more complex queries within a few hours. It is very user-friendly and such tools win over anything else. Each time I see an overengineerd/overcomplicated solution that is hard to read/understand - I know it's only "good luck" to the creators.

Re:Using AI to write better code more slowly

Not many industries can afford refactoring of the code is not supposed to be changed - additional (unexpected) regression testing costs, risk of downtime, etc. You learn that if it works and is in production - don't touch it.

This is great )) maybe do random templates similar to newspapers (like photo on the left, photo on the right, one block full width, then 3 columns, etc).
Re:Using AI to write better code more slowly
on Monday May 25, 2026 @10:44PM (#48274391)
You can be right but quite often it helps keeping focus on the forrest rather then getting lost in the trees - at least for me. Boilerplate steals a lot of attention, focus and can just be mentally exhausting.
Re:Using AI to write better code more slowly
on Monday May 25, 2026 @10:42PM (#48274376)
Similar approach, but I also go a step further with some basic manual architecture/high level contract/stubs setups, just to keep it consistent with other systems (and easier reading as well).

You just learn how to type with your toes. It is an easy skill to master and then comes handy when you drive, or sit at important meetings (you can just keep coding away) and noone's the wiser.

Yeah, at 100$ or 200$ a month my expectations would raise (and tolerance to errors go to zero) as we are going into enterprise level pricing.
