AI tools emerge for codebases: Postgres rebuilt in Rust, CLI scans AI-assisted code

A new project, pgrust, is rebuilding the PostgreSQL database entirely in Rust, leveraging AI tools to assist in the massive undertaking. The project has already incorporated 250,000 lines of Rust code, mirroring PostgreSQL's structure and successfully passing a third of its regression tests. Separately, a new command-line tool called badvibes has been released to help identify common issues in AI-assisted codebases, such as committed secrets or missing tests. AI
