I tried to build a DNA-inspired database. I accidentally made a Postgres index checker.

This project was supposed to be a quick experiment.

I had been reading about DNA storage and got carried away with the idea. DNA can pack a ridiculous

amount of information into a tiny space. I started wondering if a database could behave a bit like

a living system: the schema as its basic code, the queries as signals, and indexes changing as the

workload changed.

I spent two or three days building around that idea.

Then I had to admit something fairly obvious. Most of what I was reading described DNA as

. If it fails, the failure itself is

useful feedback. If it works, tell me whether the verdict helped or merely stated the obvious.

Real project, real story, guided by human, drafted by AI.
