Because of the replies, I can't tell if this post is dripping with sarcasm or not.

Excercising your rights is a duty, responsibility and experience that is individual to everyone.


I thought this was abandoned?


Last release was two weeks ago. pgrx is actively maintained.


I don't know, maybe it's the absolute fucking _insane_ social inequality that is present around the globe and in the world.

Also isn't Jerry Seinfeld a billionaire? Completely detached from reality.


Honestly, even assuming a bias, I doubt it's attractiveness. What's usually cited with hiring older employees is the additional social cost, as well as time off work (because they often have families to support and are more settled).


> It’s like Marc Andressen bloviating about how AI will replace everyone except him.

It's honestly insane that they think this.

They really don't understand that they're building something they cannot possibly control, if it turns out to be what they're envisioning.


I'm a software engineer and _I_ don't understand the aesthetic value of code. I'm interested in architecture and maintainability but I couldn't give a rats ass on how some section of code looks like, so long as it conforms to a style guide and is maintainable.


> so long as it conforms to a style guide and is maintainable.

Most people consider aesthetic values to align with these things.


What I don't get is that there should now be focus on the actual engineering part of software development. I have arguments with people about code quality, styling, how "structured" some work is, when in reality, in an engineering discipline we should focus on whether we can improve the software by functional or non functional metrics.

Like what about performance optimization or security analysis? Shouldn't AI be the CAD of coding tools? Idk.


Then if they succeed, I guess you're going to see a different process for the first time in your life.

On a website where we frequently talk about disruptive business models, this whole attitude kinda stinks.

Sure, I guess. Far more likely that they won't succeed, and it will be because of their pointless refusal to cooperate with others. I'm curious why you think we should "disrupt" companies putting a little due diligence into massive purchases.

I could say the same thing about making a comment like this on a website where groupthink is rightfully mocked.


> you're going to see a different process for the first time in your life

That sounds very neutral, but wouldn't this, by removing the human element and flexibility from business transactions, be a further step along a general enshittification trend?


this was more about the person being narrow minded on a website that brands itself for the out-of-the-box thinkers.


Jesus we fucking KNOW already
