It feels like we're investing less and less in deep human learning. Real #learning requires uninterrupted time, and current #work culture is trying to eliminate that. What is the long-term cost of building armies of generalists that only understand tech skin deep?

What's the most sophisticated query you've written to solve a real-world problem? How did it take advantage of PostgreSQL's capabilities?

For the first time since I started attending FOSDEM in 2010, there will be no PostgreSQL Devroom in 2026. ​Feels unbelievable for one of the defining open source projects of the last decade.

At least there's #FOSDEMPGDay.

What is "Postgres compatible"? 🤔 We have a working session tomorrow at @pgconf.eu in Riga to help establish it! We're building roadmaps for compatibility testing of core features and behaviour, replication, backups, etc.
