alt Hacker NewsArticles like this leave me with an uneasy feeling that the “solutions” are just blind workarounds - more debugging/research should be able to expose exactly what the problem is, now that would be something worth sharing.

I am pretty sure in this case even Claude or ChatGPT would give them the correct answer quickly or at least it would point them to the right direction (the busy-timeout pragma) with 5 minutes of work.
Articles like this give me the feeling that the author did a little bit of research and shared a suboptimal solution, and was hoping that experts on HN would present better solutions. Wasn't there a saying about how the best way to get correct answers is to post not just the question but the wrong answers to it?
