Expectation Vs Reality: The Developer's Job Trap

Ever start a casual conversation about databases at a party and suddenly there's a PostgreSQL evangelist in your kitchen? The elephant in the room—literally. That's what happens when you mention databases around a Postgres fan. They materialize out of nowhere, tusks ready, prepared to lecture you about ACID compliance and JSON support while you're just trying to wash your dishes.

Forget therapy, just transform: translateY(-9999px).
