Did I even tried to pretend the article wasn't generated with Claude's help? I even shared the initial prompt in some comment in this thread. I don't understand what is the matter with also using AI help with generating artic

As long as you're working alone, that makes sense. Otherwise, some team will have to review all your refactoring PRs...

The prompt was actually huge, containing all the central ideas of the articles in details. I actually found my first prompt in case you're curious: --- Human contexts are way more limited compared to computers. We can't reason abo

Yes, of course, they're limited, but it doesn't compare to the limit humans face. We can't hold a lot of context on our minds when investigating a bug when the code is too complex with huge methods, lots of branches, several

But the part that agents don't get lost is actually part of the prompt, not something Opus wrote on its own. Of course they get lost sometimes but the idea of the article is to explain that agents can often make more sense of tangled c

I think I used Opus actually. But my prompt was huge, basically the article content. I told Opus what I wanted to approach in the article with all the relevant details I wanted to include and it created the article. Then I reviewed it.

I feel your pain, that's what I've been doing for the past whole week. I'm trying to fix some ancient bugs (there are lots of them in this codebase) but each Claude review detects so many issues that might happen on some rare

Yes, I've also noticed a few occasions when Claude would get it wrong, but in most cases it's able to find issues I didn't even consider because of a very deep analysis in a confusing (to humans) code. It detects some rare si

Awesome, good to hear that :-) Fixed or not, PG is awesome anyway. Thanks for helping to make it the best database I've worked with so far :-)

Yes, that could be an option if this was supposed to be a permanent script. However, I was trying very hard to finish the migration of the deals to the new template and the script was quite big and complex. I didn't talk about the scri

Maybe I failed to explain it well enough, but I certainly do understand the problem pretty well. If you have any questions just ask and I can tell you the reasons to do what I did. The reason why I had this problem in the first place is tha

As pstuart mentioned, one of the post mortem was to fix the script, which I did by using a temporary table. The other part was to enable new columns to be added to that table in case we need in the future. For that part, I locked a few tabl

Hi, I'm the author of that article. Yes, that was the first thing that came to my mind when I noticed the error messages but it wasn't really an option by that point because I could no longer add new columns to that table. I wante
