And I probably churned out a few hundred thousand lines of code, which is just like insane.

None of which is going to production.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

Yeah, so that's, I mean, that's one of the problems I have right now is, so I can be more specific about a couple of these side quests.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

That I thought would be interesting.

Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

So the first one was, so Opus 4.1 was out.

This is probably like the beginning of August.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

And I had the idea.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

So InfluxDB is a time series database, right?

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

That's the project I'm working on.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source

And it's for like, you know, observational data, hopefully of any kind that has a timestamp.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

And we, in our

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

you know, version of the database we have now, we support InfluxQL, which is our query language.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

It looks kind of like SQL and we support SQL, actual standards compliant SQL.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

And one of the things some of our customers have been asking is like, oh, can you support PromQL, right?

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

The query language.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

And of course our answer has always been like, we would love to, but we don't have the resources to do that or anything like that.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

And the idea I had was,

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

was what if the agents could do PromQL, right?

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Building the machine that builds the machine (Interview)

So our current version of the database is written in Rust.

InfluxDB 3 is written in Rust.
