The Good, Bad, and Ugly of AI-Assisted Development

This opinion piece examines the benefits, risks, and broader economic implications of AI-assisted software development. The author argues that AI can dramatically compress developers' learning and problem-solving time, but warns that treating AI outputs as decisions risks eroding engineering judgment and accountability, which remains with human engineers. The article compares AI-generated code to traditional copy-paste practices (e.g., from Stack Overflow and GitHub), highlights uncertainty in the job market as companies experiment with automation, and stresses that the ultimate outcome depends on how engineers choose to use AI—preserving curiosity, skepticism, and ownership rather than outsourcing understanding to tools. The piece was published on 2026-08-24.

• Software as a distinct discipline began emerging in the 1940s.
• The article states that AI can compress much of the developer learning journey into seconds.
• The author warns that AI can be confidently wrong and cannot be held legally or professionally accountable; responsibility remains with the human who trusts the answer.

Safely Drop All PostgreSQL Tables (2026)

A technical how-to describing safe methods to drop all tables in a PostgreSQL database. The article shows a one-command reset (DROP SCHEMA public CASCADE; CREATE SCHEMA public; GRANT ...), explains PostgreSQL 15 default changes that revoke CREATE from PUBLIC and set public's owner to pg_database_owner (which can cause permission errors), and details Supabase-specific risks (Dropping public can remove Supabase-managed schemas and extensions). It gives variants to preserve extensions (reinstall extensions or drop tables only via a DO-block loop), recommends wrapping resets in transactions for local dev, and provides a production safety checklist: take backups, confirm connection, block connections, and restore from pg_dump/pg_restore rather than dropping schema in prod.

• DROP SCHEMA public CASCADE removes the public schema and all dependent objects (tables, views, sequences, functions, triggers).
• PostgreSQL 15 defaults: PUBLIC no longer has CREATE by default, and the owner of public is pg_database_owner, which can cause 'permission denied for schema public' after recreating the schema.
• On Supabase, DROP SCHEMA public CASCADE can cascade into Supabase-managed schemas (auth, storage, realtime, graphql) and break the project; use 'supabase db reset' for dev and restore from backups for production.
