Exactly, I feel some folks are losing the understanding of understanding, brought about initially by Googling for answers and exacerbated by having AI do that for us now. I loved the fact that the review was an allegory of this and also a moral tale.

Nice post (I do find the title interesting, surely the second half is superfluous ;-)). It reminds me that SQL is a whole universe until itself, an entire discipline that's sometimes too easy to collapse into viewing as just a language.

Nice review, which for me also (intentionally?) reflects a general malaise today (which may get worse given the tools that folks are excited about currently) - knowledge gained by reading, through building layers of understanding. Of documentation in particular.

Celebrating the end of daylight savings and the start of brighter earlier mornings with a frosty run this morning

A selfie on my run, with the Cheshire plains rolling away in the background beneath an almost clear light blue early morning sky, frosty fields turning into denser wooded areas and the skyline of the metropolis of Manchester just visible towards the horizon.

How about catching up this weekend on this fun #Devtoberfest discussion amongst many of the Developer Advocates, about developer tooling in the 21st century. Lots of topics covered, including AI, agentic coding, model context protocol, MCP servers, IDEs and more 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovf3...

A Zoom meeting display with small video windows showing various Developer Advocates smiling and having fun, and a title box "Developer tooling in the 21st century".

#Miniflux is awesome. I used to use Google Reader (RIP) but now am more independent anyway. I run it as a Docker compose-d pair of containers miniflux.app/docs/docker....

It is but it is very minimal (uses bearblog) and I'm still trying to find my "way of writing". For me it is just a small outlet now and then, more than anything else. If it finds a few people and maybe even helps here and there, that is a bonus. ^^
