Oh lord. I thought pgrust was a serious project.

You thought the vibe coded postgres port was a serious project?

  • Tbf, the author (prompter?) went on Postgres.fm [0] recently to discuss it, and while it didn’t make me entirely confident in it, it did at least seem like it was several steps above the average vibe project.

    • A lot of podcasters don't have the expertise to evaluate Ai generated/assisted output. I see this much more outside of the development community. Algorithms have warped the incentives and people have stopped doing basic due diligence.

      To be fair to the postgres.fm guys (who I do like and appreciate), the pgrust code was not available a the time of recording.

  • The way it has been defended and talked about here, yeah, I did. It wasn't just a "here's this vibe slop, do what you wish" dump.
