From the article:
"Explaining the number of reverts — features whose rollouts have now been postponed to next year's release, PostgreSQL 20 — Peter Eisentraut, veep at EDB, a PostgreSQL support and consultancy, said the reason could be at least in part attributed to the LLM code reviews used by developers."
Naturally, EDB is an AI shop (https://www.enterprisedb.com):
"Agents need direct, governed access to data at the source. EDB Postgres AI is built for that."
Of course, nothing ever has worked in PostgreSQL before AI!
They have been doing Postgres for a long time, and I believe they have been significant contributors from before AI coding.
Their marketing has to mention AI. Everyone has to in a business like that. I would not take it as evidence they are slop coders or hyping AI just on that basis.
If by "they" you mean Eisentraut, I know who he is. That is precisely why I'm disappointed.
