This is Bruce Momjian's running Postgres blog, covering talks, releases, and reflections on the ecosystem. He gave a new talk, 'Can AI Write Sql?', at Foss4g North America, following his earlier MCP server talk. Postgres 19's release notes draft lists 212 features, mostly administrative and monitoring, with beta 1 expected in a few months and final release planned for September or October. Other entries cover WAL internals, database COMMENT metadata helping MCP clients, and Momjian's argument that MySQL has declined for decades under company-controlled development versus Postgres's community model.

A longtime Claude Code user is switching to the open source harness Pi after accumulating frustrations. Claude Code only lets one session connect to the IDE at a time, a bug reported since December 2025 and closed as a duplicate. The author counts 244 Claude Code releases this year, with over three-quarters changing the system prompt or tool descriptions. Despite trimming 80% of the system prompt, the default Bash tool description still runs almost 3,000 tokens. The author calls Claude Code a product without strong direction and says Pi has been smooth sailing since the first few days.
One prompt was all it took to reveal which AI coding tool understood the assignment best.
