Years go by, and I, a simple webdev basement dweller, just can’t stop looking at Postgres and think once in a while: “man, what can’t this thing do?”

(Of course it can’t do a lot of things, but the stuff that’s baked into it already or can be enabled by some extensions is simply amazing)

your backend developers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

But then once in a while you have this one client with a task that can be solved easily with something like postgis, and you rejoice, and praise gods and developers and things, and drink beer happily ever after to their health, and add tasty sauces to your dinner potatoes.
