<p>Yeah sorry but no. This is definitely a case of “you’re holding your phone wrong” in your comment.<p>The tools in this case is consistently giving wrong results and measurably not living up to claimed efficiency. This is literally your business paying Microsoft to reduce efficiency and output a worse product than had you not done that.<p>Maybe AI will be there some day, but as of right now, using deterministic tooling is still unquestionably the king of productivity helping.</p>

<p>Every single click in ServiceNow takes a full 2 seconds to do anything. For a ticketing system. Insane.<p>What’s more insane is that it is still better than the vast majority of ticketing software. I don’t know what it is about ticketing and Helpdesk that it ALwAYs ends up like that.</p>

<p><a href="https://resources.uplevelteam.com/gen-ai-for-coding" rel="nofollow">https://resources.uplevelteam.com/gen-ai-for-coding</a><p>Efficiency does not go up. In fact, the users claims that they are more productive do not stand up to scrutiny.<p>Code quality decreases.<p>This is why I don’t just believe what people say. It makes no sense to me that something I am observing is sneaking in little bugs on nearly every suggestion somehow saves time.<p>It logically cannot be true that reading output code to make sure it is doing what you want is significantly faster than just writing what’s in your head.<p>Then it is supposedly good for boilerplate, but like, code templates have existed forever. There’s been tools with prescriptive, deterministic output that handle boilerplate for you for ages. So again here, it makes literally zero sense that a non-deterministic output is actually handling boilerplate better than just setting your env up properly.</p>

<p>Twitter probably over censored the story. Considering all of the crazy demonstrably fake news surrounding this, I can see how handling this was probably difficult to get right.<p>If the right wing wants to stop getting over censored, maybe they should hold themselves a little more accountable to the mass amounts of fake news they share.<p>But again. Hunter Biden was not running for president. The right is still pushing fake news (Ohio) as part of their campaigns.</p>

<p>SSIS is for integrations, and pandas is definitely not. I’m not sure what you’re trying to do with SSIS that you’re also doing with pandas, but it’s probably wrong. SSIS is far more geared to data warehousing integrations, while pandas would be reading a data warehouse and doing stuff with it. SSIS isn’t really meant for processing incoming data, even if you can kind of hack it together to do that.<p>I will say that when we want “real time” integrations, SSIS is phenomenally bad. But that’s not entirely unexpected for what it is.</p>

<p>And yet, it is still the best we got for also producing highly reliable and correct information.<p>Personally, I think the “highly” in your statement is quite over exaggerated. Humans can be convinced to produce bad science, for sure, and there are even journals set up by religious orgs that specifically exist to do just that.<p>But at the same time, science landed humans on the moon.</p>
