Wondering if hn ever considered doomscrolling and why they did not do it

Sub Question : IS there a real successful agent product today that uses a library for harness(like langgraph etc)? Building our own worked for us. Works with our components(postgres, events ...) and scales naturally with our system.

Postgres its all you need means to me(IMHO) postgres for all Olap (DB + message) , not all analytical databases.

Great article. Few suggestions:

- If you are bootstrapped, you can build dual use technology. - All of this is predicated on the idea that building software is hard, you need 8 years to build a product that people like. Maybe this is all going away in the AI world in a couple of years.

We have been working on https://talentpulsar.ai for exactly this. Hope to find some good collaborations with the hn community with some little self promotion, hope this is okay.

If good and bad both get amplified, I hope the equilibrium is maintained.

Debezium was built exactly for that to power a queue based on WAL.

We had considered Oban when deciding whether to go with Kafka/Debezium or not. We sided with Kafka because it can do high throughput ingestion and it is easier to maintain it with cursor in today's world. Postgres is not meant for heavy writes, but heavy querying. You could fix that with lot of care but then it does not scale multi-master very well either. Kafka scales much better for heavy writes.

Google predicting that hn frontpage will not change at all? lol

Would this mean cursor and cline don’t have to do context management? Their value is much more just in the ui now?

This is not an easy inference. For this inference to be true , you have to know how much of the expense goes to salaries . Also, you have to give credit to tsmc to be world class which enables them to control prices, it may not translate across industries
