@seldo What kind of diagnosis does it give?

@seldo where it works, it works impressively well. I love GPT for falsifiable tasks.

@raineer "falsifiable tasks" is such a simple-sounding requirement and yet so much nuance in there.

@seldo @raineer Also more open-ended tasks like "I have these columns with these data types in PostgreSQL and I want to do select key where value ilike '%foo%' but the query is slow."

It gives like 5-8 actionable avenues of investigation, several of which end up bearing fruit.
