> “ Claude! what should the system do when two users update the same record as the same time, explain to me with full clarity”

This isn't even the right question to ask, I think you've basically proved my point. You are in charge of deciding what the system should do when two users update a record at the same time. It's extremely dependent on what you're trying to do.

> Your example btw is ALREADY a solved problem. AI can answer it and design around it.

What's the one-size-fit-all solution for concurrency management that works for every single domain and application? I'm curious.

> Claude! how should the system behave when a message in the queue cannot be processed? Give me all the possible ways ranked from best to worst, also explain to me all these concepts so I can understand as I don’t have a cs degree".

Who's going to make this decision? The CEO?

It’s your example. I simply took your example and asked Claude. If it’s not the right question then don’t give it out as an example.

I’m curious how your brain concocted I said that. Examine the context of our conversation. What I mean there is that AI can solve those questions for every possible domain application.

Armed with Claude any non technical person can make this decision.
