Comment Comment by INTPenis My first job in IT, I was 18, it was the early 2000s. I was a nerd but in professional IT I was essentially a blank slate.I lucked up and ended up with a real hacker for a boss. As early as 2001-2002 he had saved entire businesses by migrating them from mysql to postgres.He was a BSD guy and a postgres guy. He made me into a fanboy of both those technologies.So out of sheer luck I've preferred Postgres for over 15 years, and it has never disappointed me.Unlike BSD, which often disappointed me once I learned how much easier and mature Linux was to use. parent INTPenis 6 years ago
