- My contribution to the 2016 trend 😄 Apparently the first time I attended #P2D2 was 10 years ago. Over the years I worked at 2ndQuadrant, EDB and now @xata.io. Some things didn’t change: still talking about Postgres, helping organize, womanning booths and having fun 🤩 Pics: today, 2019, 2018, 2016 🐘
- Voting for @pg-data.bsky.social talks this weekend 🗳️ So many wonderful proposals, thanks everyone who submitted!

- Decided to walk Camino Francés route of Camino de Santiago this October with a feminist group of women. I am so excited!
- @divyendusingh.com is doing a great job making agents do all sorts of stuff using databases. In our case with a few simple instructions, they are able to do branching operations, run queries, validate bug fixes and more. The blog posts are paired with demo videos, have a look 👀 👇🏽
- Taking database snapshots and moving large volumes of data over the network is something our customers do regularly. While batching is the de facto way to make this efficient choosing the right batch size is non-trivial considering network variability, latency & system load. Read how we solved it👇🏽

- The best part of the holidays 📚 #books
- “..it matters what stories we put in kids’ hands. Picture books that spotlight women in STEM help children expand their ideas about who scientists are, who they can be and where curiosity can lead.” 👇🏽 List of inspiring picture book biographies of women in STEM 📚 open.substack.com/pub/maistory...

- A few days ago my 6yo asked me to play a song from Stratovarius, I think I reached the parental peak. It is only downhill from now on 😅 I didn’t listen to them since college. Rediscovered a piece of my past thanks to my little genie. Now writing a Postgres blog to celebrate my new found joy 🤘🏽
- I love the offsites we do twice a year at @xata.io ☀️Building stronger bonds with my colleagues while working on Xata’s roadmap feels quite amazing. I am grateful for this opportunity ☺️ 🇮🇹 xata.io/blog/club-xa...
- The first day of PGConf.EU was a blast! 💥 I had the chance to co-organize two community summits: PostgreSQL on Kubernetes and Postgres & AI. Thanks to my co-organizers Floor Drees, Ellyne Phneah and Torsten Steinbach, I had a great time and all went amazingly!

- What is your current song fixation? 🍂 Wherever I went I always knew, always knew Till I didn't know Why do I do this to myself every time? I know the way it ends before it's even begun I am the only one at the finish line open.spotify.com/track/3qJImz...

- Oh, just saw Neosync was archived: ⚠️ Disclaimer: Neosync has been acquired by Grow Therapy. As a result, this repository is no longer actively maintained. We've been using Neosync transformers in pgstream, so we'll have to find a replacement or extend our own transformers to cover the gaps.
- Loving the photos from @pgdaylowlands.bsky.social 🐘 It was a really fun conference and well organized!
- I am really proud of the work we did here, finding ways to optimize resources used by database branches and make sure all is safe while we do that! We also open-sourced a CNPG-I plugin for scale-to-zero, so you can also give it a try! 🐘 Read more: xata.io/blog/making-...

- I started working with Postgres in 2012, when being a DBA meant manually tuning queries, planning upgrades and sitting with devs to write better SQL. In this post, I share how those DBA lessons shaped the way we built an AI-powered Postgres agent at @xata.io and how things evolved.
- Last day to submit your Kubernetes & Postgres talks! ⏰ @pgconf.eu 🇱🇻

- Bu saatte, diğer şehirlerde olduğu üzere İstanbul’da da hafif bir sis olur, sokak lambaları ölgün sarı bir ışık yayardı. Apartmanların karanlık kapılarından gelen kadın sesleri duyulur, duvarlar boyunca yükselen pencereleri aydınlık kaplardı.
