Great article, shows a lot of interesting PostgreSQL features. I have used PostgreSQL and MySQL for decades, and this article showed me that I have barely scratched the surface of what is possible.

I've used Postgres for more than a decade and everytime I wade into the docs I feel the same way, I'm barely scratching the surface. It's so immensely powerful.

		I love what LLMs are doing for me in PG's SQL. I discovered many features by having LLMs write them for me, often spot-on 100% on first prompt. Since I know conceptually how RDBMSes work, I can ask vey specifically what I want. Also asking for feedback on schemas/queries really helped me. I use a lot more of PGs features now!

PostgreSQL is like Emacs. It's an operating system disguised as something else.

		the way PG was originally implemented does have some overlap with operating systems design IMHO.. PG internals define and use PG tables in internal schema to implement core architectural features. The PG code that bootstraps the PG environment is minimal in important ways.
