Randomly remembered SmarterChild chatbot and wondered whatever happened to it.
Found this absolute masterpiece while searching: smarterchild.chat/

Every shard has its own clock. So what happens when you call now() in a query that spans all of them?
Neki has an answer for that. It also has one for sequences, which turns out to be much trickier.

PlanetScale has db deletion protection, can block agents from shipping destructive schema changes, limit the resources they can consume, and quickly revert a bad deploy without losing the writes that happened in between.
Let your agents cook. Safely.
opus 5.5 just deleted my database
always thought something like this would never happen to me
luckily it was only my dev database, but it also had access to production
just a reminder how important database backups are, especially now that we're letting ai agents do more and more things on their own
i can totally see this happening to a lot of people
be careful out there guys

LEAKY BUCKETS ON MAIN
Imagine a database that can reject work before it even starts, based on available resources, to maintain its own health.
It's possible now, and its origins are ancient.

We spent five years trying search engines. Every one of them wanted to own the experience and be the destination. We needed a foundation.
