I've posted my latest recap of the world of databases: www.cs.cmu.edu/~pavlo/blog/... All the hot topics from the last year: • More Postgres action! • MCP for everyone! • MongoDB gets litigious with FerretDB! • File formats! • Market movements! • The richest person in the history of the world!

Databases in 2025: A Year in Review

Using AI to generate code you don't understand is akin to using a translation app for a language you don't know. It might be ~90% correct but you'll never be able to spot the ~10% that's wrong, and that's going to look bad on you when others do.

Applies to some tools, but this is where fine design makes a difference. Code is cheap to prompt, but the real bottleneck to good products is thinking through 99,999 design decisions and considering every edge case. DIY-ing your own tools will teach you how hard beautiful, thoughtful design is

I think this is exactly the math that is going to drastically change the small SaaS landscape why would I pay monthly for <tool> when the same cost (maybe less!) can make that and also anything else I need
