A case for simplicity in the AI-age


Just because you can throw together a working application in an hour doesn't mean you should.

I had AI fetch all my data from Redis, build a nice application that dumps it into Postgres, aggregates the stats I wanted to see, and shows them to you inside the terminal through the use of the Bubble Tea Go library.

Yes, it has an animated progress bar when it's downloading data.

You know what would have been even faster?

To export the records as a CSV and throw it in Excel to sum up with a few functions.

So, was my experiment useful? Not really.

Was it fun? Hell yeah.

Yours,

Taj
