AI CLI Coding Tools: A Developer's Guide

The landscape of AI-powered command-line coding assistants has exploded recently, each taking a different philosophical approach to the same fundamental problem: how do we make writing code less tedious without sacrificing control? Here's a breakdown of four notable players worth your attention.

The Contenders

HOWTO: Insert a timestamp without timezone into postgres using Python

Background

I searched the net high and low but was unable to locate a definitive working example of how to take an epoch integer timestamp and insert it as a native postgres timestamp without timezone.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tz_test (

HOW TO: zstd

Why?

Way faster than bzip2, it's basically streaming compression with comparable compression levels.

Compress

tar -cvf - foo | zstd -f --no-progress -o foo.tar.zst
