What I learned interviewing the PostgreSQL Community
summary
Project runs weekly interviews (97 by Feb 2022) stored in a private GitHub site built with Hugo and edited via a Google Doc template; 383 people are on the list, with 111 completed and 65 open. Data shows 60% prefer the name Postgres, 236 recommendations (one person named 12 times then declined), only 16 interviews with women, PGConf.EU is the top conference, and pg_stat_statements is the most-cited favorite extension. Responses split on entry barrier: about one-third say high, two-thirds say low.
