Here is a situation most engineering leaders recognize. You roll out AI coding tools. Features ship faster. Developers are more productive. Then, a few months in, you realize something unexpected: the engineers you most wanted to free up are busier than ever. They are reviewing PRs, firefighting regressions, juggling a dozen half-shipped features and the edge cases that came with each one.AI made them more efficient. It also made them ten times more busy.The bottleneck did not disappear. It moved. And it moved to exactly the place most teams are least equipped to handle quickly: verification.This is the problem that…

I’ve never tried it, but the batch separator has to be separate, which I’ll show.Another post for me that is simple and hopefully serves as an example for people trying to get blogging as #SQLNewBloggers.The Batch TerminatorThe default batch terminator in SQL Server tools is “GO”. We tend to use this in SSMS, and many of us know to type this in SQLCMD when we use it. In SSMS, we sometimes need it. Here’s an example where I create a proc and add a RETURN, which some…

A web server is a software program that receives and responds to client requests via the HTTP/HTTPS protocols. Its primary purpose is to display website content which, oftentimes, is in the form of text, images, and video. A web server can either serve static or dynamic content. Static content, as the name infers, refers to content that hardly changes and is bound to remain the…
