If we think Is writing code dead, and AI is generating all codebases, I still think the bigger problem is people or full teams not knowing anything anymore about the system...
One random Friday at RC, I was bored and playing around with a puzzle someone had 3d printed:
I recently had an experience while doing a simple Google search that was so profoundly weird that it stopped me in my tracks. Understanding this Google se...
And why you may need to repeat AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' twice. SUMMARY * AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' converts the data type from timestamptz to timestamp (example). * Now you are inadvertently using the timestamp without time zone (aka timestamp) data type, which is markedly discouraged. * There are tons of footguns with timestamp. * For example, the equality of timestamp and timestamptz will always be false. * Adding a month with + INTERVAL '1 months' is timezone-dependent.

This essay challenges the common narrative that "coding is solved" with the following points: 1. Code is a side artifact of reaching clarity 2. We cannot offload our understanding to AI and that understanding is key to ownership 3. As AI capabilities and adoption improves we're going to see a price collapse for most software (market forces at play) 4. There are 3 valid cases where you don't need to read the code: POC (proof of concept), Personal Software (a growing category), and cyber attacks (acknowledging the risk but pointing it at others)
