Excel was my database for 15 years, and Postgres ended that in a weekend

Interesting, but light on technical details, including close to zero mention of how the new UI was implemented

However, a “Flash” UI is mentioned?

And if someone is using a web-based spreadsheet like Google Sheets, it could also change the pros/cons.

And an odd piece of writing or two like:

> Then, one fine day, my spreadsheets broke under their own weight, and I needed a proper database. …

Following paragraph:

> You don't wake up one day and decide it's time to stop using Excel and switch to something else. It happens gradually — a single spreadsheet becomes three tabs, then ten, then a master file referencing half a dozen others.

I mean yeah, hardly anyone use Excel in this AI era(correct me if i'm wrong), postgres is one of the best things discovered in this AI slope.
