According to the release:

Adds experimental PostgreSQL support

The code was written by Cursor and Claude

14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed

Indeed also read the paper called Programming as Theory building. From 1985. Which is very relevant today again. Since people lose the connection with the code due to Ai.

One of my favorite papers! On a similar note, I recently started reading A Philosophy of Software Design by John Ousterhout. Although it's a lot more recent (2018), I'd argue it's required reading in light of the LLM hype craze.
