But that's the thing, without the decades of work, it wouldn't BE trivial.
Everyone is standing on the shoulders of those which came before. If LLMs allow us to combine the incredible decades of effort and knowledge and experiences that's gone into building something as great as Postgres, and take that and combine the experience and philosophy that has led to the creation of a language that potentially provides tangible benefits, and for far less human time and effort that it would have otherwise taken...surely something that should be celebrated as absolutely incredible?

- mayli 3mo agoThe people benefit from all human knowledge, future human beings.
- waterTanuki 3mo agoif only we lived in such a world
- antihero 3mo agoI mean, all of it? Maybe someone born post rewrite will think wow AI made a cool thing but nobody is going whoa Postgres is made purely by AI?
