I wonder if the benefit is primarily for transactional vs analytical queries

I think it would still make sense to compare with those table formats, or is the idea that you would only use this if you could not use a table format?

How does this compare with delta lake and iceberg?

The title makes it sound like we have reached the singularity. The real insight here is that amateurs may have a difficult time competing with AI

MAXSTACK: Web framework for rapidly building SaaS apps with AI - trying to enable the next wave of 'fast-fashion saas'. Think of it like better-auth is doing for auth, I want to do for the rest of SaaS

- comes with common SaaS features pre-built (crud, blog, auth, etc.) - import templates from the framework until you want to customize them - create forms with just a zod schema - good docs, typescript interfaces, a CLI for common tasks, and MCP for your AI agent

If you're building something now or want to - I'd love to help. Could use the experience to make things easier through my framework.

> the best suggestions I've seen are found by linters in CI, and spell checkers

I don't think this is a rational take on the utility of AI. You really are not leveraging it well.

I wonder how much we need this vs implementing it as part of Delta Lake or Iceberg

I'm glad there's vibe coding available to non-tech founders so they can build the equivalent of high-fidelity prototypes. May not be MVP worthy yet, but at least it gets them started.

There was an intermediate step where they introduced AI command generation (super useful). Agentic coding follows naturally from that.

SaaS vendors do these business value assessments, which are useful to the executive buyer and the vendor. The issue I find with them is customers don't want to do them in collaboration with the vendor since the vendor will use that to justify higher prices. 'Outcome' and 'business value' seem somewhat synonymous - so maybe need to focus on the business value more closely (and all the modelling that goes into that). I don't know if all of the billing needs to go through this, but perhaps discounts or bonuses could - at the very least helping with retention.

Glad to see focus being put on keeping humans in the drivers seat, democratizing coding with the help of AI. The syntax is probably still too verbose to be easily accessible, but I like the overall approach.

Agents.md is at least used by both codex and GitHub copilot. VSCode has its own thing for instruction files and Claude.md is also its own thing :(

This is a step back for science in the service of public health - I'm sad for the many children that will die needless deaths

Very unlikely that Databricks would be acquired by Azure. So much of their business is on AWS, and they are invested in by AWS/Azure/GCP.

Wonder why not Delta Lake instead, since Iceberg will merge with Delta
