Your Database Is Already a Better Message Queue Than Kafka. Here’s Why.

📅 July 30, 2026 📂 AI & Machine Learning

Conventional wisdom says databases can’t handle queues. That was a lie from 2012. Modern Postgres, with SKIP LOCKED and LISTEN/NOTIFY, can handle tens of thousands of messages per second, eliminating the need for separate message brokers like Kafka or Redis for most applications. The real cost of adding a separate queue is operational complexity and transactional inconsistency. Stop adding infrastructure. Use what you already own.

AI Isn’t Making Software Development Better. It’s Killing the Next Rails.

📅 July 27, 2026 📂 AI & Machine Learning

AI coding agents are making software development faster on the surface, but they’re killing the foundational pain that drives the creation of elegant frameworks like Rails. Without that pain, the next generation of abstractions will never be born — and we’ll be left with sprawling, unmaintainable codebases that collapse under their own weight.

Stop Writing Boilerplate. Go Needs a Rails Moment.

Go developers love simplicity, but building web apps often means drowning in boilerplate. Andurel v1.0.0 brings the ‘omakase’ philosophy of Ruby on Rails to Go, offering an opinionated, magic-filled framework. The real question isn’t about technical performance, but whether Go’s minimalist community is ready to trade control for developer experience.
