  The biggest mistake Postgres ever made
  Postgres has experienced a long and great run. It is over 20 years old and has a track record of being safe and reliable (which is the top thing I care about in a database). In recent years it has become more cool with things like JSONB, JIT support, and a powerful extension ecosystem. But, Postgres has made some mistakes along the way, the most notable being the name. Postgres gets its name from Ingress. Ingress was one of the first databases and was lead by Michael Stonebreaker who won a Turing award for Postgres and other works.
