I remember that engineering decision. You guys were pretty early customers for your throughput and durability requirements (we hadn't even added standby replication yet when you st…

Neon is basically this same idea: postgres on a copy-on-write file system. These aren't really "branches" though, they're hard forks. You can't merge them back after making changes…

Can you be more specific about what complications you ran into? As for performance, Dolt is faster overall than MySQL on sysbench now. https://docs.dolthub.com/sql-reference/benchm…

Figures are per ambulance ride.

What's the incentive for people to contribute to an open source project?

Regardless of whether this particular project goes anywhere, it's at least very interesting that Yegge has discovered a way to make multi-agent setups work better. Giving them disc…

It is DOLT, you were right.

lol it's DOLT, not DoIt. Yegge's Medium uses a serif font so you can tell, but in many faces you can't. (We still get this comment constantly and it's very unfortunate)

We build DoltDB, which is a version-controlled SQL database. Recently we've been working with customers doing exactly this, giving an AI agent access to their database. You give th…

You asked for it, we built it: the world's first version-controlled SQL database, Dolt, now has a Postgres-compatible version, Doltgres. We announced the limited alpha here on Hack…

You'll never hear more nonsense about the industry than when the topic of H1Bs comes up.

I have, and this is an absurd assertion

> 80%+ h1bs This is laughable, cite a source or get out.

when I was learning Go, I read a guide that told you to fire off a goroutine to walk a tree and send the values back to the main goroutine via a channel. I think about that "just a…

You are a bad bad man

Think of it as a replacement for spanner with a postgres frontend. It's about global availability and replication without application-level sharding.

Sometimes it's a reasonable choice to pay for software, especially if you're a large company that can easily afford it. It's not like "just using postgres" in a manner similar to C…

The BSL doesn't make it closed source, it prevents a competitor from running their own DBaaS business using Cockroach as the backend. This has happened to various open source proje…

Seems like this spells the end of any website that vends information or answers to questions, as opposed to narratives. Narrative based writing (or images) will be fine, people wil…

Say more? What are you using Dolt for that you would find this useful?

This is true, you can just return the method without invoking it. I don't tend to use that convention though, because most of the time when I use this pattern, I'm returning a func…
