Writing code is hard. Making a product that sells? 10x as hard. Making that software an engineered system? 10x as hard again. Don’t forget where the complexity comes from!

If you want to present, but aren't sure where to start, find me as "wespiser" on discord and I'll guide you through the process.
No grades, low expectations, just straight learning and hanging out with folks who love DBMS. Come join!

If your ever down in yourself for the realization how little you know, Coders At Work is a great book about how a small few made a huge impact : github.com/ndina/acm/blob/ma…

Is there a drop in replacement to Postgres that can self tune?
Seems like a lot of good info is lost, and saving could be in the millions….
@PostgreSQL anything in particular that makes this hard?

What I imagine, is that you’d need a component/architecture re org, which would hurt perf for a bit

Just surprised FAANG hasn’t built this “database for metric collection and testing” and occasionally swap it in to their prod systems.
Maybe they have, but found nothing so the idea just silently died without a write up….

Databases from scratch: easy software system to build , or easiest to build.

What’s the OSS OLTP database to hack on with distributed txns?
Thinking rqlite, but CRDB looks nice too, especially with time based consistency features.

imagine a simple build system that worked for any language, easy to set up, add new languages, and stop you from worrying about versions mismatch.
If something like Nix/Bazel existed and took an hour to learn, would you use it?

Or, is there just too much irreducible complexity this problem for a simple solution to work across language platforms? Incremental builds would be possible, but not fancy stuff like complete dependent builds.

I'm basically thinking one build you can switch to and use in production, without hiring an expert. Please twitter, tell my why this cannot happen.

What would be more important to you? A database that gets faster the more you use it, or one that gets cheaper to run?

Just had GPT4 explain transaction management systems, their tradeoffs, and actual uses. This is the most impressed I’ve been by tech since using my brothers Facebook account in 2003/4.
The tool gave me a cross cutting view into a new subject, and let me explore. Amazing.

Of course, I didn’t check the validity of the claims, so I could be totally misled, but as a starting point I’m pretty sure it’s
not making up MVCC and 2PC.

I have no idea what the product market fit will be for these LLMs, but for self education it’s a powerful way to explore new domains.
