Spoke at #PGConfIndia on using #PostgreSQL + vectors to find the best coffee ☕. Big thanks to @clairegiordano for the shoutout & everyone for the great energy! Also, yes, caffeine levels were high. 😆 #AzureDBPostgres #PostGIS #VectorSearch

I know many ppl listen to #podcasts on your own schedule, when working out / doing dishes / walking the dog 🐕

But it can be FUN to listen to a LIVE recording of #TalkingPostgres—& participate in the parallel live text chat on Discord. Am excited that Affan Dar is my Ep22 guest & hope you can join!

Just joined #Bluesky. It’s like Twitter, but without the drama. And the ads. And the bots. And the trolls. And the… you get the idea. 💙
