No, this note is another declaration without exact explanation. If you have real bugs you should send a bug report, that's all.

Maybe you should start from bug report without LLM-slop?

If you understand Postgres's problems so well (though in reality, such problems can occur in many applications, and it's unclear how your rewritten version attempts to solve them), then why not address them in the main branch by becoming a contributor. Less code and more value.

Good, really good. But not real. You can achieve such ideal only without human which makes no sense.

I'm sick of the fact that every techno-nerd (including me) can create a new level of abstraction, the integrity of which will be proven with foam at the mouth by other people.

Skill is an ability created through practice and habit. Text files have nothing to do with it - they're not skills.

Maybe from the client's point of view, although it's more likely a Tamagotchi. But from the server side, it’s more like a whole hippodrome where you need to support horse racing 24/7

New comment by dmitrijbelikov in "Don't fall into the anti-AI hype"

dmitrijbelikov — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 05:23:41 +0000

AI doesn't do anything fundamentally new; you search for information the same way you used to through Google. The difference is that when you Googled, you understand that responsibility for the end result lies with you. Now, "users" shift responsibility to the "machine," even though they're essentially writing the program's configuration in their own language. Once you take responsibility for what your LLM writes, you'll no longer be so eager to pursue mythical "productivity."

Seems you don't get the difference between framework and library. In practice, the winner is not the “fastest according to benchmarks” tool, around which it is easier to hire people and build an ecosystem, as was the case with jQuery.

dmitrijbelikov — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 20:50:03 +0000

I started working with PHP back in 2002, it was cool, the first code I had to study was phpBB. By now I have made about 10 applications that have survived to production. I learned how to configure Linux servers, understand the front-end (sometimes), architecture, security, management and do a lot of things that now usually require a whole team to do.
