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.

What aspect of your journey caused you pain?
