We handle this in Fireproof with a deterministic default algorithm, in addition to having a hash-based tamperproof ledger of changes. Fireproof is not SQL based, it is more like CouchDB or MongoDB, but with cryptographic integrity. Apache 2.0 https://use-fireproof.com

In practice during CouchDB's heyday, with lots of heavy users, the conflict management API almost never mattered, as most people can make do with deterministic merges.

Itโ€™d be amazing to see a collab with the Exquisite Creatures Revealed artist. He preserves all kinds of insects and presents them in a way that highlights the color and iridescent effects nature offers. I was so blown away by the exhibit I went back. Artist: https://christophermarley.com/

Yes, that exactly. If you have to read the code or the manual, youโ€™re not vibe coding. I think vibe coding is super good for the industry and people in general.

If you canโ€™t do it while youโ€™re also singing a karaoke song, then youโ€™re not vibing.

I have fairly decent engineering credentials, but when the task fits, I prefer to vibe code.

SQLite is probably more mature than Postgres in terms of service hours.

This is a reason to prefer embedded databases that only contain data scoped to a single user or group.

Then MCP and other agents can run wild within a safer container. The issue here comes from intermingling data.

Iโ€™m one of those statistics. But I still play. Itโ€™s fun to imagine myself with a full time studio career but instead Iโ€™m a database startup founder. (I got into databases by building a web crawler to recommend how musicians could promote themselves on mp3 blogs.)

How many musicians or artists are finding their need to explore similarly met by opportunities that simply didnโ€™t exist in 2002? If art is expression than we should expect the people who might have wielded a brush or guitar to be building software instead.

If this is you, I recommend Rick Rubinโ€™s The Creative Act. Itโ€™s as pure an expression of the way I like to work in music, as it is aligned with how I think about code and product design.

The opposite. We are all learning to hone our slop detectors now, real art is more valuable and necessary.

The word โ€œjustโ€ in your comment disgusts me

Real innovators canโ€™t stand this sort of noise and so it is a direct shot against their bow

The real judge will be survivorship bias and as a betting man, I might think product owners are the ones with the entrepreneurial spirit to make it to the other side.

Love your perspective. It reminds me of this argument Iโ€™m working on about Turing machine qualia. Maybe my argument is just Searle in disguise? https://x.com/jchris/status/1815379571736551923?s=46&t=8A60w...

This has always felt to me like evidence of a sort of computationalism. I am not a computationalist, but the thought is the "universal CPU" needs cycles for each particle. Mass is what takes time to process, so the voids experience no/less computational delay. This reads like the simulation author is messy and constrained, not godlike.
