2-3 days is a lot of valuable engineering time. Is this a 'drop everything now' kind of feature or can this wait for some user validation on a mock up first? 

Most of the time will likely be on the infrastructure to change the display to a subnode control. If you have some cycles to mockup potential layouts for the subnode view and have them validated, please feel free, however, that seems like an awful lot of work to me to display some missing SQL using a standard control.

Regarding SQL display: Developing simple control to show codemirror in disabled state (for now) wont take that much time.

 

Part of a product designer's job is to make sure there is a definitive need for a feature and that the interface for the feature is designed in such a way that the user gets all intended value from it. Time spent validating now will decrease the time spent later on redesigning / reimplementing.

If everyone is aware of what that value is and confident that how it'll be displayed is right, there's little risk in starting to develop it. If we're wrong, it'll add to feature bloat and detract from the experience.

Would Chethana be able to take on some of the design work? It would be valuable for the dev team to also be part of design process.
