How much faster can a database get in a single year? We ran ClickBench on QuestDB 7.3.3 (Dec '23) vs QuestDB 8.2.1 (Dec '24). The results speak for themselves

QuestDB 9.0.1 is here. While 9.0 marked our biggest release this year, we saw immediate opportunities to enhance SYMBOL index performance. The improvements target workloads with high concurrency on symbol-heavy datasets. Full release notes: questdb.com/docs/releases #questdb

I'm a bit late to the game, but I've been playing around with Pulumi's hooks and I'm having a great time so far! I'm able to implement functionality that I've been wanting since I started my BYOC project QuestDB over a year ago

Does anyone find Opus 4 to be too verbose? I ask it a simple question about "how to do X" and it spits out 8 different options with 100s of lines of code... Just give me the best one!

AI demonstrates the sunk-cost fallacy perfectly: Just one more "this doesn't work!" prompt, you think, and it'll fix it!! But often it won't, and now you've wasted 30 minutes begging that you could have spent learning how to actually fucking do it yourself.

Docker Run vs. Attach vs. Exec 🔽 Explore how these key Docker commands work under the hood in my most recent write-up labs.iximiuz.com/tutorials/dock… Why bother: A fundamental understanding of how tech works enables you to apply the knowledge to new domains and synthesize hard skills.

I used AI to write a new feature. After it was finished and merged, I found a critical problem with the solution. It was easier to just throw the whole thing out and rewrite the feature from scratch, my way. AI can't pivot away from a bad design, it just brute forces a solution

Just noticed that Ivan Velichko's labs include Incus VMs! ❤️❤️❤️ Now I can test my wireguard reverse tunnel ideas from my M1 Macbook...
