Re:Postgres 19 is late, and it's AI's fault

I've been engaged with Postgres community for over 20 years now, and this has been my experience, too, throughout that time. Off and on I have interacted with a few other large projects, and nowhere (except at CodeBlocks) have I found such a welcoming and responsive community. The CodeBlocks IDE project has been one exception where I felt welcomed; but my interaction there was quite limited, and spanned over just a few days, so I can't extrapolate too much from that.
BTW, the Postgres community is also quite protective of their culture, so I expect this welcoming nature of the community to persist for a while.

Just in case it helps someone, a while ago I wrote a blog post with exact CLI invocations to set up a local-password-store protected by TouchID. If you wish, the encrypted password-store can be backed up and tracked with a Git.

Re:Show HN: TERMy – A fast terminal assistant that does not use LLMs
on Friday September 04, 2026 @02:30PM (#49568361)
I haven't evaluated it yet, but I love the fact that the output is (at least claimed to be) deterministic. I can't trust an LLM to do the right thing after I deploy it to production, because their output is non-deterministic by design.
TERMy (or is it the NPC-forge) seems to be worth a try.
