Supabase consistently puts out such fantastic bite-sized gems - and for me some of my favorites have been related to PostGIS - whether it’s about serving tiles directly, or this (ab)use of functionality typically used in a PG geospatial context. Nothing revolutionary or massive and complex - not like reading DDIA of course, but just fun and mentally activating, making me want to jump into something new. I really applaud them for frequently posting actually engaging content that just gets you excited to work with databases… it sounds silly to say it like that, but it does feel like I get regularly struck with the feeling of sadness when I realize how vanilla all of my daily development related interactions with dbs are so vanilla.
