Seems like it might have more legs than the usual "postgres should get query hints" requests that the PG team generally don't entertain. > "I think we've become so negative about hints that we rarely have a ratio

Come to BitBucket. Which is also down. Because they're in the process of failing to roll out an AI feature no one wants [1]. :/ [1] - I say this as a daily user of claude-code, paying $200USD/mth, of my own money, BTW.

This. If you're building a brand new, multi-language, multi-platform system that uses advanced open-api features - you will get bitten by lack of support in 3.1 versions of tooling for features that already existed and work fine right

"micro-management" is not a useful concept, it's just a though-terminating cliche - let's get specific. The problem with bad stand-ups is usually that they're just "personal status updates" by another name

Yes, no doubt. But a naive increase will punish the majority of customers who aren't yet using a similar efficiency mechanism. My guess, if this approach becomes popular - we'll see a whole new layer of complexity added to Lambda
