People are outsourcing even basic sql to AI? Do you do any thinking for yourself still? I’m super curious what the AI brain rot will look like even 5 years from now when some senior dev can’t do a join without AI

Well, we used ORMs for a decade and treated our code as schema.

Now we hooked all that up to agents.

I can still do a join and often write sql queries by hand to execute in a shell.

I and many others are not in your we

Probably part of a minority but I like writing SQL and optimizing slow queries myself, it's fun.

Who's "we"?

My company

Is your company a data company? Because I doubt you can get away with using agents to clean messy data from huge databases

And here I am, still writing sprocs for all of our business logic...

Not everyone just mindlessly plays the AI slot machine to generate code these days.
