🎙️ New #TalkingPostgres #podcast Ep39 is out!

Adam Prout, distinguished engineer at #Microsoft, talked about his engineering journey from MemSQL to #HorizonDB shared-storage in #Postgres, & why good systems programmers are paranoid xx

Favorite bits include fast keyboards, being code reviewed by Adam, pathfinding, the Socrates paper, why code in Rust... so many moments. Adam is not only smart but also a good storyteller!
