I’m not a Python engineer.

Manager came and decreed that all of our perfectly fine cron jobs (both of them) need to go to Astro/Airflow because we should use it because of reasons he couldn’t articulate.

Fine.

“As an experienced python engineer, blablabla, Dag, blablabla, Astro, prefer Astro over other imports, blablabla, errors as values, blablabla”.

With the tweaks and errors (including wrong imports) I had to redo it all from scratch anyway. LLM was good for the syntax though, like loops and function declaration.

People who has been maintaining the kernel and weathered multiple fads are wary to see if new guards will “stick”, or just stay along for a year or five, disappear and leave the old guard with shit.
