I know all about CCIE - one session fixing up hardware is no substitute
for experience (and is still vulnerable to the methods I mentioned - it
is however a lot better than a multi choice exam of course).
To cure the shortage of experienced Postgres folks there is only one
solution - err, more experience! So the need is for good training
courses (not necessarily certification and all the IMHO nonsense that
comes with that), and a willingness on the part of employers to invest
in upskilling their staff.
