Show HN: Wtdb – give every Git worktree its own database

whh — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 23:35:29 +0000

I run a lot of agentic coding sessions in parallel, each in its own git worktree. Every worktree points at the same local Postgres though, so the moment one branch runs a migration it changes the schema out from under the others. I'd end up with agents tripping over each other, or me babysitting which branch "owned" the DB at any given moment.

I made this to fix it. I hope you might find it helpful too.

I just got done now:

> There's an issue with the selected model (claude-fable-5). It may not exist or you may not have access to it. Run /model to pick a different model.

Anthropic has just reset usage limits.

No, still cracking on with a bug fix. Definitely feels like it's still Fable.

Interestingly, I am yet to lose access.

> "at least on paper"

This fact regularly seems to be forgotten by a lot of media reporting. People see "Musk is a trillionaire" and assume he has anywhere near that amount of liquid cash, completely ignoring that the company itself actually just lost $4.28bn.

Value is simply what the market is willing to pay for a share at the margin. As a founder, my own startup has a valuation, but that sure as hell doesn't make me a millionaire.

Oxfam has this daft 2% wealth tax idea on any assets over £10m. If we actually started taxing people based on paper valuations, most startups founders would be bankrupt by Series A.

I wonder if they got around to the Finder date-sorting bug that's been around for about 10 years.

Car manufacturers did this but it was usually when the car was going to be a bit of a minger.

Never ever trust AI summary cooking instructions. Holy crap.

I made a serious error with that once.

I've directly asked our account manager about it. It's pretty scary that we don't know what automated mechanisms could just cut us off.

It's almost certainly one of those Android Store related checks or YouTube account checks. It's why it's best to disable login for the services you don't want your staff messing with on Google Workspace.

There's that "automated action" again. Regardless of the architectural decision, it makes me incredibly uneasy relying on GCP if these types of things can happen.

This could kill a startup. I really don't like Google's automated and silent account murder functionality.
