Migrations are scary.

Not the code. The code is usually simple. It’s the stakes. Migrations run once. They touch production data. They can’t always be undone. Get it wrong, and you’re in trouble.

Deployment scripts, rollback procedures, runbooks. Same story. You write them hoping you’ll never need them. You don’t test them because testing them is almost as scary as needing them.

This is exactly the kind of work AI should help with. Not because AI writes perfect deployment scripts, but because AI writes first drafts that include the things you’d forget. Rollback steps. Verification queries. The edge cases that bite you when you’re already stressed.

Having something to review beats staring at a blank file wondering what you’re forgetting.
