Ah yes so the 4x slower isn’t really a real world case and you’d have to explicitly measure yours - it’s not a fixed slowdown but depends on table size - and it’s for doing many many single inserts in a row, which you’d be batching either way.

That's probably why they gave a range in their original comment.

Which isn’t correct, either for real world cases or worst case linear inserts.

How is it not correct?

Sure the benchmark does not measure a real world application, but I never claimed it was.

Do you have a better benchmark to share?

I thought I was being charitable by using a benchmark published by the database's own authors.

Dolt has been around for 7 years[0]. Doltlite, like most software nowadays, has been touched by LLMs, but dismissing this project as "vibe coded" seems harsh [0] - https://www.dolthub.com/blog/2019-10-14-dolt-a-simple-exampl...

It only took about 2,000 pull requests but DoltLite going Beta proves a team of agents certainly could. The first PR was merged March 17th. "vibe coded" seems pretty fitting

"going beta" is a human decision. It proves nothing. All it proves is that at some point someone looked at it and said "good enough, ship it". It says nothing about the quality of the unreviewed code.

Agentic development still requires human review and human ownership of PRs. This is vibe coded. Seems precise to me.

You can call it what you want I guess, but "vibe coded" around these parts is a simple pejorative, it means the authors don't know what the code does and the product is poor quality. Most successful agent-coded projects have a few essential features that it's worth calling out: 1) The human driving it has real domain expertise; 2) There's an oracle for correctness; 3) The agent has a real-world example to copy, adapt…
