Why Getting Better at Spotting Patterns Makes Innovation Harder

Watch a child gracefully pluck a raisin from a bowl, and you’re witnessing a feat that would humble the world’s most sophisticated robots. Yet these same robots can solve complex mathematical equations that would leave most adults scratching their heads. Welcome to Moravec’s Paradox, perhaps the most fascinating quirk in artificial intelligence.

Temporal databases have long been a fascinating yet complex topic in database design. With PostgreSQL 18 coming later this year, one of its most anticipated features is native support for temporal primary and foreign keys. But what exactly are they, and why should you care?

This account captures profound insights about leadership, human psychology, and survival in crisis situations through the incredible story of Shackleton’s failed Antarctic expedition that became a masterclass in leading through adversity. The key patterns extracted reveal universal principles about maintaining team cohesion, adaptable...

In the rapidly evolving landscape of AI-assisted software development, a new category of tools has emerged: repository-to-prompt converters. These utilities address the growing need to feed entire codebases into Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini. Let’s delve into the technical aspects and implications of these tools.

In a recent internal meeting, Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman made a bold prediction: within two years, most developers might stop coding altogether, thanks to the rapid advancement of AI. This claim, while attention-grabbing, reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of the software development process and the critical role that human...
