The casual use of GenAI

I love having GenAI as a productivity booster when writing pretty much anything. I am preparing for a meeting with a client to go over questions about their Snowflake environment. I have my own thoughts of course, but I use GenAI to flesh out anything I might have missed, and to put everything in a logical order with professional wording.

I use my "Executive model"
1. Hire An Expert
2. Give orientation
3. Give specific instructions
4. Micromanage.

Here is an example of the prompt I used to quickly put together my questions for this meeting. And of course I vetted and revised the answer (that's the micromanage part).

Play the role of an advanced snowflake expertise with experience lift and sifting from teradata to Snowflake. You are also an excellent technical educator and consulting mentor.

I am a principal level snowflake architect and experienced consultant. I am on a new multi million dollar engagement. We have just won the deal but I am new to our team and the client’s team. I’m playing catch up.

I’m prepping for a meeting with their Snowflake team and want to have all the questions answered that will help ensure a good start to the project. I will provide you with questions I already have and I want you to provide me those and a list others I should be asking at this tim.

1. How long have you been using Snowflake
2. Do you have documentation for your enterprise standards, center of excellence for Snowflake
1. naming conventions
2. roles, role hierarchy
3. Who are your Snowflake account and technical reps?
4. Do you have a regular, monthly cadence call with Snowflake that I could be added to?
5. What are you currently doing for cost management, observability
6. Who is your enterprise snowflake lead
7. Who is your snowflake lead for this project

Take these and any others I missed and put them in a logical progression, with professional and friendly wording
