The subthread was also about 80-100. This seems like a goal post move.

We must have read different articles. This one does not say that, as best as I can tell: https://www.theregister.com/databases/2026/10/16/postgres-19...
> how PostgreSQL is having dozens of bugs discovered and fixed via LLMs
The PostgreSQL article was specifically about how the LLMs were incapable of fixing bugs, meaning they had to delay their next major version because humans were unable to deal with the volume of bugs. I did not make a claim that LLMs are useless, could not do code review, etc, but there is a difference between a useful tool and something that generates production-ready code.
This is what "100" looks like if you try to generate a DB from scratch: https://jepsen.io/analyses/particledb-1.1.4 - written in Rust, ""formally verified"", scammed AI-pilled investors out of $90 million for a database that fundamentally doesn't work in any capacity whatsoever.
