It feels like we're investing less and less in deep human learning. Real #learning requires uninterrupted time, and current #work culture is trying to eliminate that. What is the long-term cost of building armies of generalists that only understand tech skin deep?

For the first time since I started attending FOSDEM in 2010, there will be no PostgreSQL Devroom in 2026. Feels unbelievable for one of the defining open source projects of the last decade.
At least there's #FOSDEMPGDay.
