I've been busy adding postgres and sqlite support to apostrophecms:

Six months ago, that would have been unrealistic, because we're heavily committed to the mongodb API and we make it part of our own API.

Starting in December though, Opus 4.6 made it perfectly realistic to pursue this with Claude Code as a series of personal weekend projects.

Now, despite not having any official resources on this until the last week or so, it should land in May.

This doesn't work for everything. It absolutely helps that the problem I'm solving is an "adapter pattern" problem: "make X talk like Y." And that we have a massive test suite, at multiple levels. That combination makes "here's the problem, go solve it, grind until the tests pass, don't bother me for a few hours" a realistic AI agent request.

But it's a little mind-blowing all the same. The hype around AI is so out of control, it can be easy to miss genuine "holy crap" moments.

Along the way I've written a fair bit about how to run Claude Code autonomously on your household server in a reasonably secure manner:

Also general Claude Code tips and thoughts on workflows that help and workflows that ultimately just speed your burnout:

I know, everybody's writing this stuff, but the desire to share is natural.

(Disclaimer: I'm part of the demographic AI was trained on. If I tried not to sound like a bot, I'd have to sound like... well, somebody else)
