I'm not talking about the people reinventing the wheel, I'm talking about the people using the reinvented wheels and not realising that it's a reinvented wheel.

This is harder than you make it sound. On the internet, it's hard to know who to listen to, and in real life, it can be hard to find older developers working on something relevant to you, and even then their skill levels differ. And then they should even want to bother with holding your hand while you're setting up your first database, making sure you don't botch up the performance by not doing things that come natural for someone who's been working with PostgreSQL for years and years.
