What I learned interviewing the PostgreSQL Community
summary
Weekly interviews since early 2020 compile 194 conversations and a static site that builds from markdown and deploys via Google, published mostly on Mondays. Responses come from 34 countries, mention 62 extensions (top mentions pg_stat_statements and PostGIS), show cycling as the most common hobby and only five people say they sail, and split evenly on calling it Postgres vs PostgreSQL. Social footprints show Twitter still active while LinkedIn is rising, and most interviewees use PostgreSQL in production.
