ParadeDB is hiring someone to help build integrations. ORMs, RAG frameworks, PaaS, etc. Remote within US/Canada timezones, preference for PST. You'll work directly with me.
It's the perfect time to join, just ahead of the 1.0 later this year.

Thinking my aversion to compile-time breaking API changes is over indexed for the pre-AI era. AI is quite good at refactoring calls when a breaking API change occurs (especially when the change is documented). So cost and impact of breaking API changes has dropped dramatically.

I've been experimenting with distributing Go binaries as wheels on PyPI so you can execute them without installing them first using commands like "uvx sqlite-scanner ~/Downloads" - I wrote sqlite-scanner in Go

Distributing Go binaries like sqlite-scanner through PyPI using go-to-wheel
I’ve been exploring Go for building small, fast and self-contained binary applications recently. I’m enjoying how there’s generally one obvious way to do things and the resulting code is boring …

Can you beat 180KB? I created a challenge to reduce a dataset as much as possible 🏆
my approach uses delta encoding & prefix compression + zstd(22) compression to reduce 25MB -> 180KB

New (to me) coding agent use case: shrinking bug repros involving huge queries.
Essentially: "this query reproduces a bug: please binary search to shrink it."
