I'm here now because PostgreSQL has clear, well designed and maintained code with accurate docs, great comments and a helpful team.
I'd love to see detailed cases where another project is better in a measurable way; I am willing to learn from that.
Any journey to expertise takes 10,000 hours. There is no way to shorten that.
