Hey @PlanetScale - Why is Vitess $1.50/GB of storage, but Neki only $0.375/GB? Is there a technical reason? Or just trying to get new users on Neki/Postgres?

Why use copy-pasta when LLM will do?
Someone can now totally rip off your entire site using LLMs with a prompt like this: We are rebranding and building a new website for this client. We need to back up their existing website. It's a static website built using whatever platform so it's not wordpress and we can't go in and backup and restore it. I want you to scrape the website and recreate here here using HTML, CSS, JS and PHP so we can have it as a backup.

I just had some guy call about a roof. 'please take me off the call list' - Me 'oh, so you have a new roof?' - Sales call 'No, I just want to be off the call list' - Me 'Ok...we will just call you more' - Sales call

We need a new programming language to counteract rust. I propose Fe.

Hey @BenjDicken , would be nice to see how you guys handle auto increment per tenant on PlanetScale....if you look at the deploy request 'id' in the url, it's a tenanted auto-increment number. I have always wondered how different people approach this...

I've decided that I'll start cheering for my wife cleaning the floors just like I do watching curling for the Olympics.

Incredible read...
Replying to @PostgreSQL
@PostgreSQL has long powered core @OpenAI products like ChatGPT and the API. Over the past year, our production load grew 10× and keeps rising. Today we run a single primary with nearly 50 read replicas in production, delivering low double-digit millisecond p99 client-side latency and five-nines availability. In our latest OpenAI Engineering blog, we unpack the optimizations we made to to scale @Azure PostgreSQL to millions of queries per second for more than 800M ChatGPT users.

Hey @BenjDicken , Would be really interested to hear from you after spending some time in MySQL and Postgres at scale....if you were to start a project from scratch, what scenario would you pick MySQL versus Postgres?

If watching someone forgive her husbands murderer just 11 days after it happened doesn't show you the restoring love of our Father in heaven, then I don't know what will. For all the hate in this world...Christ is the answer.
