Codex 5.3 xHigh pushed my workflow past a tipping point: writing code is no longer the scarce resource. The real leverage is design quality and engineering acceptance. This is the practical loop I use to ship reliable software with AI agents.
A mediocre local who knows the terrain beats a genius parachuted into unknown territory. Intelligence without context is idle. An agent without a runtime is vapor.
Software stocks are melting down. Who survives? Who rises? AI stripped away software’s skin, exposing the database skeleton underneath. The market isn’t panic-selling — it’s repricing.
Should we still hire fresh grads? Squeezed between AI and senior devs, what’s the play for new programmers? Master the right tools, take initiative, find the right mentor.
When launch clawdbot on the cloud, you’re handing over cognitive data to the vendor. There’s a reason why people buy Mac mini rather than running clawdbot on the cloud.
LLM = CPU. Context = RAM. Database = Disk. Agent = App. The mapping is surprisingly clean. And if OS history is any guide, we may know what comes next — and what’s still missing.
How to install and use Claude Code? How to achieve similar results at 1/10 of Claude’s cost with alternative models? A one-liner to get CC up and running!
The bottleneck for AI Agents isnt in database engines but in upper-layer integration. Muscle memory, associative memory, and trial-and-error courage will be key.
Your ability to ask questions—and your taste in what to ask—determines your position in the AI era. When answers become commodities, good questions become the new wealth. We are living in the moment this prophecy comes true.
Who will be revolutionized first - OLTP or OLAP? Integration vs specialization, how to choose? Where will DBAs go in the AI era? Feng’s views from the HOW 2025 conference roundtable, organized and published.
The database for the AI era has been settled. Capital markets are making intensive moves on PostgreSQL targets, with PG having become the default database for the AI era.
Future software = Agent + Database. No middle tiers, just agents issuing CRUD. Database skills age well, and PostgreSQL is poised to be the agent-era default.
