Yeah, I am disappointed by how shallow it is. Lexing, Parsing, AST would apply to nearly every programming language and not SQL alone. There’s no mention of how the parsers actually work on the code level, which would have made it an interesting read.

I want to believe people who feel they are 10x more productive with agentic tools but I can’t help notice how there’s lot of doing things that don’t need to be done at all. Either that, or doing them superficially as the article shows.
