I am excited to announce that we are officially writing a new version of Postgres. In Rust - and creating the LLVM of databases in the process. In the span of a year, we have rewritten SQLite. Keeping the compatibility, increasing its feature set. MVCC, Types, (Live) Materialized Views, among other things. In the process of doing that, we have realized: At the end of the day, what makes SQLite special is that it compiles SQL to a database-specific bytecode. So why can't we compile *Postgres* to the same bytecode? Turns out we can. I ran an experiment called pgmicro as a way to prove this hypothesis, and it works very well. It is time to make this official, and put the weight of Turso behind it. We shall give the world a modern take on Postgres. Wire compatible, but built on a new architecture. We have already heard of others wanting to extend this. MySQL? Redis? the sky is the limit. What can we do if we do for databases what LLVM did for compilers? To prove how powerful the SQLite bytecode is, we are actually running DOOM compiled to the unmodified SQLite instruction set. And because Turso runs natively in the browser, you can play the game in your browser. With the database executing it. Read the full story below! 👇

We got a new HTTP method before GTA 6. 💀 After decades of the same core HTTP verbs, we're finally getting a new one: QUERY. It was published as RFC 10008 on June 15th 2026.

The true measure of a software engineer isn't their ability to write clever code. It's their ability to ruthlessly protect the codebase from unnecessary cleverness.

In software, complexity is a tax you pay on every future change. You might think, "as long as it works, I'm good, I don't care about aesthetics", but elegant code is about maintainability, not aesthetics. Elegant code is deeply practical.

Incredibly excited to announce we will be suing Meta for this! @elonmusk if you want to fund the lawsuit my DMs are open forum.market
$META has released a standalone app for Facebook Groups called "Forum." The app appears positioned as a more $RDDT like community platform built around topic-based discussion.

We're excited to announce that Forum has officially acquired @CMEGroup in an all-cash transaction. This marks a defining moment in our mission to make attention tradable. For the first time, both traditional futures markets and attention markets will operate as one. Onward.

Attention is the most important commodity of the digital age. We still lack a market to price it. Introducing Forum: the first regulated attention market.
