Somehow a 100-line SQL query is considered unmaintainable, but splitting the same logic across five services and a message queue is considered architecture.
It's amazing that just a few years ago, AI fears would get responses like "we wouldn't just give them uncontrolled access to our computers." How many computers run a coding agent in YOLO mode per day? Arbitrary code execution, usually on admin accounts, with full internet access.
⭐ New talk! andymatuschak.org/tat Coding agents might help us finally break out of two cages: the app model, which traps computing in one-size-fits-all silos; and programming as a specialization, which has crowded out cultures of imagination and domain insight.
@truskovskiy We use Claude a lot for working on @xtdb_com, but mostly as a debugging tool and research/experimentation assistant. The hard code still requires lots of human brain power, for now. I expect the landscape will shift more quickly on the pure OLAP side, e.g. arxiv.org/abs/2603.02001
Software is not soft. It arrives rigid, opaque, and brittle. The most malleable medium we have produced is, in practice, among the least malleable materials we encounter in daily life.
@xtdb_com @narayanarjun If anyone else fancies booking a slot to meet and chat similarly, DMs are open :)
In the build up to an official XTDB v2 release we are running a series of informal chats on our Discord server - come join! This Friday we're speaking with @narayanarjun who has battled many times with as-of chaos during his time at Materialize - see github.com/orgs/xtdb/disc…
🕰️ Ever needed to track exactly when data was valid, or how it changed over time? 🔎 XTDB makes historical data management seamless with #bitemporality, letting you query past states, track expiring records, and analyse changes—all with precision and control. (1/3)
"Handling the element of time in SQL has been a challenge since it was created" "current databases require you to manually insert time values that track when a data item was added, when it became valid, and when it became invalid" Reflections by @Intellyx's Eric Newcomer [1/2]
💡Struggling with tracking data changes/mistakes in SQL #databases? 🌟XTDB introduces powerful tools to handle historical data, from managing corrections with soft deletes to permanently erasing records, XTDB offers bitemporal capabilities that SQL alone can’t provide! (1/3)
@refset shares his vision for how to make SQL better and more fit for the future by making it more compatible with #Clojure’s philosophy: youtu.be/ot4DDcEHhLs
"SQL queries start with SELECT" has been true for 50 years, but what could we unlock by allowing you to start a query with FROM instead...? Check out our latest beta5 release to learn more - featuring some rather exciting SQL pipelining and templating capabilities [1/2]
🚀 Need accurate reporting and seamless data corrections in your #Database? 📹 See how XTDB's bitemporality makes auditing and historical queries effortless. Correct mistakes, track changes, and retrieve past states—all with simple SQL queries. (1/2)
I am just having the time of my life building lightning fast complex virtual scrolled tables with server-streamed differential record spooling over 10k records ... in 12 lines of simple, straightforward code. #ElectricClojure
@eirikbakke Sounds quite a lot like "streamed differential record spooling" x.com/dustingetz/sta…

@RealGeneKim @eirikbakke @ultorg 💯 Incidentally, I would love to get you and @ryrobes in the same room :) x.com/ryrobes/status…
XTDB Bi-Temporal SQL. Time-travel scrubbing. IYKYK. The "as-is vs as-was" convo is dead.
The older I get, the more amazed I am that John McCarthy invented Lisp in 1958 when the popular programming languages were Algol, Fortran, and Cobol. 66 years later and it's still mind-blowing to the vast majority of the industry.
