1. Build Your Own Database Total comment counts : 14 Summary An instructional guide to building a key-value database from scratch. It starts with a naive file-based store (db.txt) where updates/deletes rewrite the file, which is inefficient. To fix this, it proposes immutable, append-only logs: add new records, keep the last key occurrence, and use tombstones to mark deletes. To prevent unbounded growth, it introduces periodic compaction, splitting into segments, and merging....

1. Exploring PostgreSQL 18’s new UUIDv7 support Total comment counts : 4 Summary UUIDv7, introduced in Postgres 18, improves on UUIDv4 by placing a 48-bit timestamp as the most significant portion, enabling natural sortability and efficient sequential inserts. This reduces index fragmentation, improves cache locality, and simplifies time-based queries, with broad language support (e.g., Python 3.14). UUIDs are consistent across platforms via uuid_extract_version. Caution: the embedded timestamp leaks creation time, so use UUIDv7 for internal keys only and keep an external random UUIDv4 as public identifiers....

1. Why your boss isn’t worried about AI – “can’t you just turn it off?” Total comment counts : 15 Summary Public misreads AI bugs as typical software bugs that experts can fix with debugging. In modern AI, most issues come from training data, not code, and datasets are enormous (e.g., FineWeb ~11.25 trillion words) so no one reads all training material.
