Lætitia AVROT: A Reviewer Was Born
A friend of mine, Lucas Draescher, submitted his first patch to PostgreSQL back in March. It fixes a file descriptor leak when using io_method=io_uring. The patch is clean, well-motivated, and on its third revision. It has been sitting in the commitfest for two months with zero reviewers. This is not unusual. This is the norm. The PostgreSQL project runs on volunteer time. Committers are brilliant, but there are not many of them and the patch queue is long.
Mark Wong: Acknowledged Individuals in the PostgreSQL Release Notes: 2026 Edition
I shared a chart, in 2022, showing where PostgreSQL contributor gifts are mailed to. Here's an updated chart (click to zoom in.)To quickly recap: the PostgreSQL community has been sending gifts to those who contribute directly to a new major release since version 12 came out. There has now been 6 releases since then and version 19 is slated to be released this fall.This chart can be construed as a gross indication of where code, testers, reviewers, bug reports, and documentation are comin...

The Hidden Token Trap of Agent Orchestration
To build an architecture that actually works in production, we have to stop treating agent memory as a glorified chat history and start treating it as a tiered data stack.

Kotlin Multiplatform in Production: Two Real-World Use Cases from Booking.com

Consequently, the Android and iOS platforms are critical to the company’s product strategy; engineering choices made here have significant repercussions for the entire organisation.To maintain agility at th...

Shaun Thomas: Looking Forward to Postgres 19: Query Hints
Well, the world has officially ended. Peter Venkman from Ghostbusters was right all along, and we'll soon be experiencing "human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!" Pack it in everybody; we had a great run. The feature freeze of Postgres 19 includes the one feature many claimed would never see the light of day: query hints. I guess "never say never" is pretty good advice.OK, so they're not technically called hints. The Postgres community would never be so pedestrian. Ins...

The Meta hack shows there’s more to AI security than Mythos
On June 5, 404 Media reported that attackers had been using Meta’s AI customer support agent to steal Instagram accounts. Their approach was simple: They asked the agent to link the accounts to email addresses that they controlled, and the agent complied. One attacker broke into the dormant Obama White House account and made pro-Iran…
