alt Hacker NewsDoes writing table schemas count as writing code? Is that architecting? Both?
I personally don’t trust coding agents to have enough context to write domain-specific table schemas, and I don’t have the patience to transcribe all of the context into a natural language prompt. If I ask it to, it’ll write something for sure, and maybe that can be a jumping point for me, but at some point I have to physically write what the columns will be.

I repeat, I hope you are right as I enjoy coding a lot. I just wish that people who keep not using LLMs too much won't have troubles because of that.
You should definitely try it if you haven't already. Most of the models are deeply familiar with domain specific areas in ways that most of us aren't. In fact, I would say the problem is generally the opposite. If model size and effort is is high, it will over architect what an app needs. I find myself reigning in a giant email notification system with subscriptions and "channels" and other such nonsense when sometimes you just want a simple one off.
