Postgres 19 is late, and AI gets the blame

Original: Postgres 19 is late, and it's AI's fault

A new blog post by longtime PostgreSQL contributor Robert Haas argues that the release of Postgres 19 has fallen behind schedule, attributing the delay to the surge of AI-generated patches and automated contributions flooding the development process. The claim has sparked debate among developers about how AI tooling is affecting open-source review workloads and release timelines.

Why now: Debate over AI's impact on open-source development is topical, and delays to a major database release affect many engineering teams.
