It's Not Magic, It's Method (opens in new tab)

At PGDay France (2018 or 2019, I honestly can’t remember which one), I shared my method for evaluating a Postgres extension: read the source code, and ask yourself whether you understand it well enough to fix a small bug. Someone in the audience replied: “That’s only valid for Lætitia Avrot.” I’ve been thinking about that comment ever since. It’s not magic. It’s not some rare gift. It’s a method. Read. Understand.
