pro tip for user interface designers:

if you have hundreds of millions of dollars of venture capital and you want to make a user facing data analytics tool of some kind and you think it's reasonable to ask an average human being to type this:

CAST('2023-05-01' AS TIMESTAMP)

to do literally anything with a date or time in your application's user interface, just stop right there. do not pass go, do not collect $200, and do not ever attempt to offer feedback to a UX designer ever again. something is deeply broken inside you that means there are certain mysteries of the universe that even the guys who designed the postgres command line can access that you will never know, and that's ok. You can still live a really rad life.

Couldn't be prouder to announce the release of the PostgreSQL 16 Administration Cookbook! Massive thanks to my co-authors Gianni Ciolli, Boriss Mejías @tchorix, Vibhor Kumar and Simon Riggs, and Packt for a spectacular effort on a book that is bound to be a valuable resource for the #PostgreSQL community.

Re-#Introduction time.
I'm Brett. I work with #data. I'm mostly in #fintech at this point but I've done a little of everything from #healthcare to #ads to #IOT and retail. I've been a #DBA, #SWE, #SRE, #BI Analyst, #ETL dev and more in my career.

I consider myself a #libertarian #socialist and strongly support #unions, #workersrights, and democratic workplaces facilitated by employee-owned cooperatives.

Still haven't caught #covid.

You can't troll me. I've been on the internet since 1992.
