AI is slowing down 1 month ago

The studies you are talking about are probably outdated, it's difficult to deny the actual productivity boost of coding agents.

I'm not talking about the quantity of code produced, but about actual user needs that are now resolved that would not have been before.

The main productivity gain will not come from existing software engineer, but from people that couldn't code at all before but are now able to do things by themselves. We are still very early.

Almost nobody uses it though, which is too bad, especially since multi-head functions sometimes make it difficult to follow the execution path.

I'd like to do step by step but I cannot plug the debugger to VScode from inside a docker container.

I agree with them, the French translation is way too casual/aggressive compared to the English text.

I wouldn't trust this website.

It comes across as influencer speech targeted to edgy young people with a touch of "how do you do, fellow kids?".

Pretty sure a modern LLM would yield a better one.

Read committed (which is the default), doesn't guarantee that. See "Nonrepeatable Read" and "Phantom Read" which are both possible in your documentation page.

I don't get the transaction bit. At least with postgres, a transaction doesn't guarantee that all statements in it see the data at the same point in time (actually, it's not even guaranteed for subqueries).

Also, often, the transactional database servers is more difficult to scale than application servers so from a technical standpoint, it makes sense to do this glue work in app code.
