Day full of AI work, kind of tired and tomorrow morning going to the office in downtown Seattle.
Today after a full day of Artificial Intelligence workshop with Microsoft and Anthropic I have received an urgent notification from my boss saying that there is a production emergency with one of our old applications which I wrote over twenty years ago.
And they had a downsized the developer that was responsible for the maintenance of the application. The problem is that I have not looked at this application in over fifteen years.
I didn't know where the latest source code is or where the database was. So I did a search in our Azure DevOps and found some code from 2018. I cloned the repository locally and had GitHub Copilot analyze it.
The AI Agent came to conclusion that the problem is not in front end or the server side code and suggested that it could be at the service layer or the database side. I had it check the web services and it quickly pointed out that those are fine also.
So it was time to message our database team, luckily some of them were still available at around five in the evening and gave me emergency access to production. I have downloaded a few suspect stored procedures and had Agent run an analysis on it. It quickly found the problem and gave me a very good code to update the existing stored procedure in order to resolve the issue.
The code looked good to me so I ran it in production, tested it on SQL Server side and then in production application. The problem was gone. I closed the ticket and asked to revoke my production access.
Everyone was happy. These Artificial Intelligence tools are a game changer. Those who are not using them just cannot compete. It is like walking versus flying in the airplane.
I think that in a few days I will set up a new VS Code project with Spec Kit and have this application upgraded to the latest architecture in a few days...
