>I didnt know what is relational algebra is? why query plannering execution done in certain ways. What are backend storage system available in open source or commercial products. What are the traitts of each backend storage and how does that effects the replication and failover scenarios. I know all of this, I implemented a small subset of sql's relational algebra in my project and its correct and concise. I expored different backend storage systems, first tried one, then move to next and then 3rd in line, all that in span of less than a month without ever looking what code the coding agents generates.

To be as frank as possible--you "understand" these topics in the same way someone who watches pop-science videos about astronomy "understands" astronomy. That is to say, you have a surface level understanding at best.

This is the sort of behavior people have been talking about over the last few years. People confuse what the AI "understands" with what they understand, and it makes them say delusional stuff like "I learned more in the last 2 months than in 20 years."
