    You really get a sense for how much the author learned from this experience. And I like how he developed a respect for C.

    Given all the corner cases he describes, it seems like a good example of something you would never ever want to vibe code.

    nice work

    I wonder if you considered WAL-G, which is also written in Go

    and has this: https://github.com/wal-g/wal-g/blob/master/docs/PostgreSQL.m...
