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

You use it to write version-controlled applications, so that your structured table data gets the same collaboration and auditing benefits that your source code enjoys. This is a couple years of out date but should give you an idea for how i

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 started your integration). We've come a long way in

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. Dolt is still the only SQL databa

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/benchmarks/latency

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 discrete personas ("you are a senior database engineer

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 the agent its own branch / clone of the prod DB to w

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

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 an example" guide a lot when I see bad channel code

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 Cockroach's capabilities is tri

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 projects, AWS started selling their technology and ate their

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 will still visit and see ads. But anything matching the search

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 function that uses a parameter I pass in. You can see
