After getting tone of questions on the last week's webinar, I did Q&A on PostgreSQL superpowers! Check to learn more on PostgreSQL partitioning, logical replication and know what I think about "What misuse of PostgreSQL (feature or in general) has turned out to be useful?"!
An honest comment, the substantive value of this post (and most others written by you) is huge. However in the era of wide accessibility of llms or even dedicated tools - the language could be substantially improved. It's not only gonna improve readability, but also take you to the next level in technical writing. Thanks for all the work in knowledge sharing !
After reading the article again I think the problem is mostly in:
- misplacement/omission of articles ('a', 'the', etc)
- typos
- incorrect words or used with wrong preposition or wrong sentence order (e.g. "but also how rich the plugin ecosystem is")
These are nitpicks ofc, but at least for me, they break the reading 'flow'.
I pushed the article through Perplexity and ChatGPT requesting to review 'as an English technical writer' and they cought some of these. Maybe worth a shot.

Thank you for the honest feedback. Could you give some more details on what could be improved? Grammar? Styling? Wording?
I’m actually using Grammarly, but tbt it got worse when they added LLM to their previous language model.
I tried using some LLM for editorial work, but they didn't help much, as they were adding typical cliches for AI slop.

Nevertheless, a very good read!
Thank you, I’ll add an additional round of editorial review.
Appreciate the constructive criticism, and thank you for your kind words about the substance of the article 🙂
