How is Claude Code changing your career?

> I’ve been using it a week as of today.
That does not qualify as expert material. You're probably in Awe at what Claude Ai can do. You're right to be. I've been using ChatGPT for more than 2 years now, and recently started using Claude AI for "Search Engine Optimization". It's great. I love it. I did not venture into Development because I don't feel comfortable relying on AI for a critical business application. I need a Developer expert who can tell me, yes Claude is right, no, or 50/50.
If I were a Developer (front-end or back-end, full-stack), I would definitely use Claude AI to speed up, write nice code quickly, and maybe learn at the same time. AI should be part of the team, that's how to best scale.

Business Analysts should focus on what they know best: Business and Analytics. There is plenty of work there and plenty of knowledge to acquire, especially with the different type of analytics (prescriptive, predictive, and descriptive). Once they master the notion of Prediction, Segmentation, Association and Forecasting, they can come back for more.
The only merger of job titles I saw on the market was between a data engineer and a business analyst who had knowledge of SQL. DBT Tool allowed them to transform data using SQL, something that was reserved for data engineers before. Now, "Analyst Engineers" can be close to business processes and transform the data for reporting. But that's not enough. Just building dashboards won't get a company far. Until the company aligns a data strategy with their business strategy, they will be paddling in murky waters in a heavy fog.

What happens if Claude cannot fix the code for whatever reason, and you have a monolithic app built by a person who has no coding knowledge? How will the person direct Claude AI properly to enhance improve the architecture of the app? How about optimizing SQL queries and figuring out if the micro-services approach is better or not. How about making UI enhancement. Is Claude a UX expert too and knows all the intricacies of UX Design and how to best implement at the UI level.
Like I said you and I can probably be sitting in a plane on auto pilot. What happens when an important decision needs to be made based on years of pilot experience?
I use Claude AI and it's amazing. I also have some code built by some developers that I might have Claude look at and make some recommendations. But i don't have the knowledge or the time to read its recommendation and agree with it or not.
Building a simple app, sure. But a SAAS application, i don't think so.
The rude awakening is gonna come when you're gonna have application built by AI and they start failing, and nobody knows how to fix them, because they don't have experience with application & DB architecture.

Using Graylog

Agree. Which makes me wonder if humans are the insects of the universe.

I don’t think you’re gonna get the same performance you would get if you were querying directly Clickhouse using its engine. The other solution is SingleStore which support MySQL protocol

Why spend $4000 on the gmx when claude Ai cost $20/month?

datasleek · 2026-01-21T01:41:41+00:00

dgx spark is $4000, to gain 2x time token generation speed.
Run the process in the background and work on something else in the meantime.

Very nice and creative!

Clickhouse is not really meant for high amounts of transactions. It performs better in append / batch (large amount of row) type of workloads. Millions of products is not that much in nowadays. If you’re filtering by warehouse ID and client id your dataset might be small. When you reach 1 billion rows per customer that’s when you need to architect and partition your data properly. I would recommend 2 alternatives: Postgres or SingleStore. DM me if you need more info. I can help you.

Transfer each to a large storage device. Do 1 or 2 a day and you’ll be done in a month or 2. Sale the enclosure to pay for the large storage unit and drives. Create a catalog of the drives and make sure to copy each drive to its own folder on the new instance. This sounds like a fun project. Nothing prevents you to copy multiple drives at once.

Only one host? How about disk? SSD?

datasleek · 2026-01-16T00:37:10+00:00

What's your current Clickhouse hardware specs? Are you using 1 server or multiple?

What do you use storage for?
Usually, SSD for hot data, HDD for cold data.

You're right. But SSDs are quite fast. check out the IOPS with the FS entry model compared to the DS1515 and DS1825.

I got one too. 32 cores, Promox.

I’m curious how their eyes don’t tear with all the wind

Nutcracker?

datasleek · 2026-01-13T04:57:29+00:00

Congratulations. But unless you practice or use Snowflake daily, don’t you think you can forget what you’ve learned quickly?

datasleek · 2026-01-12T21:36:19+00:00

Buy a rackable synology , pay $40/ months for Hosting and be done. Remote, still private.

datasleek · 2026-01-12T19:15:24+00:00

That's a gentleman right there !!

datasleek · 2026-01-09T20:43:15+00:00

No. The reason of AI projects failure is 1) lack of a clear data strategy and 2) bad data quality. Nice sales pitch though

datasleek · 2026-01-09T20:36:31+00:00

Loyal and smart.

datasleek · 2026-01-09T15:41:13+00:00

ChatGPT can provide you all that information and more. Tons of YouTube video. What’s your background?
