While I continue to work with Postgres, I'm enjoying the life of an early start-up where your default is "not much data", though it does make you unlearn a lot of the habits developed when dealing with multi-terabyte databases!

Any reason the article has sections appearing out of no where, that don't fit the surrounding parts? For example:

Awkwardly, I think this is probably because their blog has gone through several rewrites and it probably hasn't preserved the original text very well.

I'm no longer at the company so can't fix it, apologies!

There were issues with footnotes indeed. Should be all fixed now!
