Why go through all migration files if you're looking for missing indices in the present? That doesn't seem to make sense when you could just look at the schema as it stands? Either way, why would this take you a day? How many tables do you have?
Remember that there is no "the" cartel, just so many different towns and interests and bribed officials. It makes it a significant (and perhaps convenient) misnomer dont get me wrong, but maybe important to remember.
Extremely good, highly researched book if you want to get angry at me or call me idiot!
I don't get the pressure. I don't know about you, but my job for a long time has been continually learning new systems. I don't get how so many of my peers fall into this head trip where they think they are gonna get left behind by what amounts to anticipated new features from some SaaS one day.
How do you both hold that the technology is so revolutionary because of its productive gains, but at the same time so esoteric that you better be ontop of everything all the time?
This stuff is all like a weird toy compared to other things I have taken the time to learn in my career, the sense of expertise people claim at all comes off to me like a guy who knows the Taco Bell secret menu, or the best set of coupons to use at Target. Its the opposite of intimidating!
The weird thing at the end of the day is that we live in this world where there is this default individual desire to be more "productive." I am always wondering, productive for who, for what?
I know more than most there is some baseline productivity we are always trying to be at, that can sometimes be a target more than a current state. But the way people talk about their AI workflows is different. It's like everyone has become tyranical factory floor managers, pushing ever further for productive gains.
Leave this kind of productivity to the bosses I say! Life is a broader surface than this. We can/should focus on be productive together, but leave your actual life for finer, more sustainable ventures.
Just an aside but this sentiment can't help feel a little comical just maybe at this moment. Like it all sounds right and we have heard it all before, but you can almost hear the impotent rehearsal of it in our current context.
My post? Shiiiii if that’s how it comes across I may delete it. I haven’t logged into LI since our last corp reorg, it was a cesspool even then. Self promotion just ain’t my bag
I was just trying to share the same patterns from OPs documentation that I found valuable within the context of agentic development; seeing them take this so far is was scares me, because they are right that I could wire an agent to do this autonomously and probably get the same outcomes, scaled.
It gives me pause that most people drive cars or are willing to sit in one for more than 20 minutes a week.
But people accept the status quo and are afraid to take a moment’s look into the face of their own impending injury, senescence and death: that’s how our brains are wired to survive and it used to make sense evolutionarily until about 5 minutes ago.
