Postgres and Open Source Experts

Introducing the Command Prompt Health & Mental Wellness campaign, a holistic approach to life.

On one side are two affiliate non-profits for Postgresql.org; on the other is a relatively unknown non-profit out of Spain.

To be truly successful in life, we must have an equilibrium. We must balance desire, learning from success and failure, fear, exhaustion, passion, employer satisfaction, relationships, children, personal ambition and growth, tee-ball games, disappointment, ballet classes, illness, client management, and unexpected events. How can we manage all of these tasks when we try to put everything into two separate boxes? We can’t and that is why people get burned out.
