I'm confused by this statement about pgBouncer et al.
These systems allow you to make as many database connections as you want and manage them inefficiently, because the connections they give you are fake & cheap simulated connections that they handle with low overhead.
What makes them inefficient then, if they're cheap and have low management overhead?

I think he meant that "you" can manage (or not manage them at all) them inefficiently because the proxy pool well take care of that for you. It reads awkwardly.
