Developer revisits hand-written SQL parser in the AI era
Original: A few years ago I wrote a SQL parser in C++, before there was any AI to help. Recently I wrote it... # showdev # vscode
A developer says they wrote a SQL parser in C++ years ago, entirely without AI assistance, and has recently returned to the project. Reflecting on the work, they argue the code itself was never the important part, a point landing with programmers weighing how AI coding tools change the value of building software from scratch. The project is being shared openly with the developer community.
Why now: Developers are debating what hand-crafted coding skills mean now that AI assistants can write much of the code.
