Switching gears a little bit: SQL is a declarative language. I don't know why, but I think about it every time I see it in action. The concept of declaring what we want to get without needing to write procedures to get it is great. TBH It is close to what we are getting recently with LLMs 🤔
I agree! It's much more straightforward than anything else. In contrast to LLMs, you do need to 'work' a bit to get what you want from it, but it's like a logical puzzle with very clear (and limited!) set of rules.

Honestly, I didn't meet a lot of engineers who new how to properly use EXPLAIN.
So it sounds like it's worth EXPLAINing 🙂
