↗ https://aiven.io/blog/anniversary-dinner-aiven-mcp-postgresql-pg-studioAiven is giving me more freedom to write. This time in prep for my workshop tomorrow I wrote about how I ingested the MICHELIN guide data and showed how I could explore the dataset with PG Studio.

It's been so great catching up with Jamal after all these years.
Many folks don't know Jamal but I hope they will leanr more about him as he is more and more in the conference community.
Jamal helped with the Python Thursdays and CodeNewbie over a decade ago that I joined as a way to learn Python. He was one of the many amazing folks that helped me in my Python journey.

"I do not want to speak at conferences or on podcasts or do workshops in order to try and sell you a product."
I'm not saying this is me every day but it is definitely me some day. That said I've been trying to move up into a more behind the scenes role and helping the next gen of DevRel folks instead.
Best of luck Salma!
