This Talking Postgres Ep33 w/Rob Emanuele was SO MUCH FUN. I loved it all: (1) origin story as a musician, (2) views on developer experience, (3) explaining the new VS Code extension for Postgres, (4) perspectives on creativity & improv, (5) how he no longer codes the way he used to code, (6) more!

Postgres Trip Summary from PGConf EU 2025 (with lots of photos) | Microsoft Community Hub Overview of my experience as a Postgres speaker, as a Microsoft sponsor, &amp; happy attendee at PGConf EU 2025, with lots of photographs.

Just published my take on @pgconf.eu & the TL;dr is that it was a wonderful PostgreSQL conference. But the trip report / blog post explains more about what kind of wonderful exactly (and includes lots of photos)

Enjoy! techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/adforpo...

😍

Standing in front of airplane, smiling, about to board

On my way to my 6th @pgconf.eu — this time in Riga ‼️ So excited to see #PostgreSQL people 🐘 & attend all these great talks. If you are there, come say hello at the Microsoft stand 👋

So cool to see "High Performance PostgreSQL for Rails" listed on the official PostgreSQL books wiki page.

Thank you to @clairegiordano.bsky.social for the encouragement and help making that happen.
