Proactively splitting a DB into many in the fear of future scalability and management problems is causing even bigger consistency and development problems today. Dont. Sure your DB will grow and with that its importance, but I tell you from experience: DB management is hard,…

At what point become LLM code prompts limited by human language? So we have to formalize the input to get consistent results. And after the formalization what prevents the formalization to become high level code again that can be executed without an LLM between? Context: I've…
