Talk title:
I'm afraid of the Database:
How to gain confidence in PostgreSQL as an App Developer

Talk Description:
As an app developer, my goal is to serve my users. I may love my tech stack, but secretly, I am terrified of the data layer.
In the AI world, we have more and more app developers, but with all this data lying around, we need to ensure that PostgreSQL as a community is approachable. This talk will look at my vibe coded application can how I used it to be less fearful of PostgreSQL.
