Amazing to see the interest in pg_textsearch following the OSS announcement this week. We're excited about the next round of optimizations coming in ~January, focused on block-based optimization and compression to reduce both query time and space complexity. Details are in the

If "agents are the new developers" feels real to you and you want to help define what database infrastructure for them looks like, DM me or check the JD: https://t.co/HdEXjldVxa

You'll work directly with our CEO on strategy. Not "you get a quarterly update" but "you're in the room influencing where the company goes." This is a company-defining role for someone who wants real impact.

So... Postgres is now basically a search engine? pg_textsearch was just open sourced. It enables BM25 to search your database.... massive upgrade for key word search. Google uses BM25 in their search engine. Claude told me: "if you're already on Postgres, you can now skip

We just open-sourced pg_textsearch (permissive Postgres license). It's our Postgres extension that brings true BM25 ranking directly into Postgres. If you care about fast, relevance-ranked keyword search without leaving Postgres -- or hybrid retrieval by combining pg_textsearch

Now we just need Claude to support it so we can stop putting in a one line Claude md file that says “read agents dot md you dumb bastard”
Today, the @linuxfoundation launched the Agentic AI Foundation with Anthropic and OpenAI donating MCP and https://t.co/p7zkNkh0LK as founding projects. Docker is joining alongside Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Cloudflare, and others. Open standards won the application layer.

I've been thinking a lot about MCP lately. At its core, MCP turns tools into design affordances for agents: primitives that shape what an agent can perceive, decide, and do. And it's only a year old. We’ve barely started exploring the space. Right now most MCP tools are simple
