Writing generalised code is hard. I’ve been trending towards writing specialised code instead. LLMs make this easier to do for well-contained problems, when you can verify the code they produce is good. And they’re useful for writing tests (providing exisiting tests as examples helps). Great post.

TIL transaction isolation and durability in ACID are orthogonal. eg: when synchronous_commit=off then COMMIT in Postgres doesn’t mean a transaction has persisted durably to disk, just that it’s in the WAL see this fantastic thread and the linked PR comments.

Would be nice if the Bluesky app could be still be used with stale content when there’s no or low data available (eg: in-flight wifi). Doesn’t seem to boot. Whereas Twitter works.
