That's how you push the field forward. Good isn't good enough.

Curious to compare your implementation to ours [1] some day (if you guys open source it).

Same here! Except:

- PgDog is open source

- It runs anywhere, not just your cloud

- It's built for Postgres, not a MySQL pivot

what does a mysql pivot mean? like literally what do you think we have done here technically that could be considered a mysql pivot?

Oh no! Anyway...

Not if he can also deliver equally good or better results, which I suspect he will. Not everyone needs it to do a good job, and for others, it could be a net negative.

Using computers created an unambiguous productivity boost. Same cannot be said for all types of software engineering with AI; that's why we keep having this debate. The results are mixed.

There are people with literally thousands of hours spent in WoW or Counter Strike. I don’t think you can talk about anything in absolutes can you?

I personally have thousands of hours in _both_ WoW and Counter Strike, and yet ...

We don't maintain it anymore. I'm working on pgdog[1] fulltime now. We've had several successful pgcat -> pgdog migrations now.

There is a difference between using an electric drill and having a robot assemble the entire car.

Yup. Getting pretty tired from seeing these "0days" that are not exploitable in any real use case. Just vibes, no substance.

Sad side of this is that decision makers are seeing these and think that AI can replace yet another department in their office.

I just saw a nice presentation from SecFest from a guy who ran a red team, but now they pivoted to basically anything and will be more than happy to fix your car if that would pay their bills.

Tired seeing them is one thing the real problem is tired updating your software stack with a frequency the team & tooling was never designed to sustain. Worse: You are not tired enough to forget the real security issues that would need some calm period to fix.

Kagi is amazing. Worth the subscription, 10 times over. I don't have to worry about sponsored search results, or slop from the "AI overview". High quality results, like Google used to be.

For a price of two cups of coffee.

AI slop is actively down-ranked based on community feedback: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/slopstop.html

I extensively report obvious slop websites. Most of them get rejected/marked as “not AI”. That initiative is cute on paper, but they apparently do not trust the community.
