Michael,thanks and I am trying to take advantage of them.
Actually, I have learned that being hacker of PG or other data
management platforms like Greenplum is not a one-stop story or
journey. It is the sum of deep understanding of computing sciences(the
foundations like compatibility theory, computational complexity...),
the engineering aspect of computing and the tech aspect of the same.

Therefore, I feel and think that I am a bit in a hurry to be DB
hacker. But given time, indefatigability and PG community support, I
believe that I will manage to achieve my dream.

Regards,
Zeray
