Yes, companies can get into trouble with Haskell compile times, memory use, etc., but enforcing disciplined coding rules and advances in tooling solved the majority of the problems by 2016.

We use LLMs to assist in writing Haskell and have for several years. We keep track of compile times to catch regressions and on our largest code base an agent-driven change takes an average of 96 seconds (as of this month) to compile. Agents looking to do quick compile checks during code writing can run with flags that make the compilation run in less than 5 seconds. In all cases, running out test suites takes a lot longer than compile times.

The only time this isn't true is when you compile from cold start, as you would when using multiple work trees...which is the expected behavior when vibe coding features. So yes, I believe the issues they're running into have a lot to do with vibe coding. Check out all their integrations...Haskell's probably a poor match for what they do, but vibe coding integrations is probably what they need to do to get new customers.

Given the number of small batch jams available at various farmers markets, my guess would be that for smaller farms, making jam is more practical than jelly.

I don't know about everyone else, but the code I reviewed as a Junior was high quality code I was expected to learn from. That's entirely different from doing code review on whatever CC outputs.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned

Except network databases have little in common with graph databases...they're much more closely related to hierarchical databases.

I would say that Graph databases are now a strict superset of relational databases, not the other way around. In a graph database a node's named edge can naturally point to a node of any type or having any property schema. Doing this in a relational model requires one of several approaches that could only be classified as fighting against the model (or torturing it, as my PI liked to say).

Well, I guess that at least confirms Oracle on Itanium (!?) still supported RAW 5 years ago.

I'm guessing everyone's on ASM by now though, if they're still upgrading. I ran into a company not long ago with a huge oracle cluster that still employed physical database admins and logical database admins as separate roles...I would bet they're still paying millions for an out of date version of Oracle and using RAW.
