I’m starting a new company with few good people and an exciting idea. I appreciate all the support. More updates, summaries, feels, etc will follow. linkedin.com/posts/gwenshap…

Confluent's agent skills for Kafka are surprisingly high quality. What I love about them:

- Readable by humans too. Well organized, uses normal English and Kafka terminology, not too verbose.
- Has tons of best practices with explanations
- Has "common mistakes" section
- References the docs, does not repeat them
- Repo includes evals, so you can easily check your agent with these skills.

OH at Bruce Momijan talk:
“ I don’t mean to make you feel old, but you’ve been working on Postgres for longer than I’ve been alive “

TIL: there’s an Oracle Postgres running on Oracle Cloud.

Everyone is a Postgres company these days…

This startup founder doesn't care if side projects don't exist.

But if you have a badly maintained side project? One with 6-month old CVEs and that only runs on Postgres 9? Gigantic red flag.

Building is easy. Maintenance is the real signal.
