Helped: Verifying everything with explain analyze and small optimisations.
I did a lot of SQL optimisation with claude code over the last year, what made it work for me was making sure I verify everything with explain analyze. The whole loop was not fully “agentic” because of this but it was still faster and better than when done entirely manually. Claude also suggested plenty of small optimisations I would otherwise not do.
