Seriously, the hardest part for me about teaching and writing is going back and trying to see the problem from the eyes of the "guy you were before". Now that it's all obvious, it's suddenly all not that hard anymore and even a little embarrassing to write down - I mean you can find all of this stuff on the Postgres Mailing lists, or superb books like "High Performance Postgres", so it's actually trivial, right?

Thing is, there's still way too few good and reasonably short TL;DR guides for Postgres out there (somehow it's always getting a little less love than MySQL, although this is starting to change), so I thought I'd give it a try, wrap it in an entertaining real-world story and in this way give a little part back to this awesome community. So: Glad you like it! AMA
