You really get a sense for how much the author learned from this experience. And I like how he developed a respect for C.<p>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<p>I wonder if you considered WAL-G, which is also written in Go<p>and has this: <a href="https://github.com/wal-g/wal-g/blob/master/docs/PostgreSQL.md#wal-receive" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/wal-g/wal-g/blob/master/docs/PostgreSQL.m...</a>
