on: Scaling PostgreSQL to power 800M ChatGPT users
I don’t get it. This whole thing says single writer does not scale, so we stopped writing as much and removed reads away from it, so it works ok and we decided that’s enough. I guess thats great.

on: Three Observations
AI has to be the solution to everything to justify the kind of investments going into it right now.

on: Why Has Figma Reinvented the Wheel with PostgreSQL?
In this particular case of sharding a postgresql solution, in my opinion, the parent is right. Any major cloud provider would give companies of their scale assistance. This is their bread and butter. The posts likely hide the requirement of stay on aws, but we don’t know they did not talk about that. Likewise cockroach or yugabyte were also available options.

on: Sam Altman's knack for dodging bullets with a little help from bigshot friends
That’s wildly inaccurate. Musk regularly displays a much higher level of tech skills compared to most CEOs, with the exception of a few, like maybe Jensen. You may not like musk, but musks way above someone like altman in technical skills

They should not have expected the OpenAI staff to follow Ilya after Sams exit. Sam’s policies are a lot more lucrative for the openAI staff. The staff is acting in their own interest as well

on: A guide to learning algorithms through LeetCode
Leetcode is not a good indicator of quality code by any means. It's basically a filter. If one can't solve these programming questions, there is a higher chance that they are not good at programming compared to one who can.
