Can't get promotions if you don't NIH a slow half broken postgres

Don't bring Postgres into this. Its fast and closer to zero-broken than to half-broken. ;)

I think you misunderstood the comment. It wasn't calling Postgres slow and half broken, it was making a stab at other home-brewed (NIH, Not Invented Here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_invented_here) databases, calling them slow, half baked copies of postgres, implying that they should have just used postgres, but that doing so wouldn't get them promotions.
