Ack, agreed. But there’s a better way to communicate than making blanket statements like “just use Postgres.” For example, you could say “Postgres is the default database,” etc.

Don’t get me wrong—I’m a huge huge fan of Postgres. I’ve worked at Postgres companies for a decade, started a Postgres company, and now lead a Postgres service within a company! But I prefer being real rather than doing marketing hype and blanket love.

"Just" doesn't solely mean "only", this phrase is using it in the spirit of "just do it" - meaning "stop dawdling around".

"Just use postgres" is the snappy phrase you're looking for.

Ack, makes sense. When making public posts that reach a large audience, it’s better to be clear with the messaging rather than risk it being blurry for even a subset of the audience, especially if that could lead to misguidance and affect their day-to-day work.
