Wow, Engineers Need Plain English Now?

Honeycomb’s Pathetic New “Query Assistant” Capability

Apparently, engineers are so incompetent these days that they need Honeycomb’s new Query Assistant to help them ask questions in simple, plain English. This insult to their intelligence allows them to avoid using technical query languages like the pros they’re supposed to be. Honeycomb is essentially babying them with this new “solution” because maybe they never paid attention during their database classes (or maybe they were too busy showing off their truly “innovative” calculator watches).

Consequences of Dumbing Down the Tech Industry

Thanks to this unnecessary crutch, engineers will now be able to avoid improving their skills in query languages. Instead of honing their technical expertise, they get to lean on a tool that translates their elementary questions into something the system understands. Maybe soon, Honeycomb and companies like it will replace engineers with toddlers. On the bright side, this Query Assistant could lead to the development of more idiot-proof technologies, ensuring that even the dimmest bulbs in the industry can keep the lights on.

Eagerly Awaiting the Inevitable Downfall

So, congrats Honeycomb, you just helped contribute to the erosion of technical expertise in the realm of engineers. Thanks to Query Assistant, we can now anticipate a future in which coding becomes entirely obsolete, and engineers can just ask their computers to “do the thing” without knowing a single line of code. Good luck getting any brilliant technological breakthroughs with that kind of approach. Keep those training wheels on; we wouldn’t want the fragile egos of those “tech geniuses” to accidentally trip and face reality.
