Did you vibe code this? A few things here and there are a bit of a giveaway imho.

I put Overview section from the Readme into an AI content detector and it says 92% AI. Some comment blocks inside codebase are rated as 100% AI generated.

I really liked the README, that was a good use of AI.

If you're interested in the idea of writing a database, I recommend you checkout https://github.com/thomasjungblut/go-sstables which includes sstables, a skiplist, a recordio format and other database building blocks like a write-ahead log.

Also https://github.com/BurntSushi/fst which has a great Blog post explaining it's compression (and been ported to Go) which is really helpful for autocomplete/typeahead when recommending searches to users or doing spelling correction for search inputs.

Is vibe-commented a thing yet? :D

Wanted to give fellow readers a good on-ramp for understanding the FTS internals. Figured leaning into readability wouldn’t hurt

For me this makes the structure super easy to grok at a glance

That said, totally fair read on the comments. Curious if they helped/landed the way I intended. or if a multi-part blog series would’ve worked better :)

Another possible tell (not saying this is vibe coded) is when every function is documented, almost too much comments

Ohh, I thought that inline comments would make it grokkable and be a low-friction way in. Seems this didn’t land the way I intended :'

Should a multi-part blog would've been better?
