We made Postgres writes faster, but it broke replication To compete with Elasticsearch, ParadeDB replaced traditional B-tree and GIN indexes with Log-Structured Merge (LSM) trees for faster writes. LSM trees convert random writes into sequential ones using in-memory buffers and disk-based segment files. However, this optimization introduced replication safety challenges that required innovative solutions. |

Alex argues that AI text lacks "proof-of-thought," the inherent value that comes from human effort and consideration. The solution isn't avoiding AI, but practicing proper etiquette: only share AI output when you've adopted it as your own or have explicit consent from recipients. |
