Wow, love how you've unearthed this information. It's totally captivating, especially on the language side.
I'm curious, what drove such massive adoption of Postgress... and more so what makes devs decide differently from VCs with risk perspective? In other words, if a VC is not willing to put their money into a project based on its associated risk, what made it so that developers were?
(Real) devs don't care. As long as they've got access to the source code, they don't care how popular it is, only if it solves the problem. Mediocre devs will care about popularity, since they're not looking to actually solve problems, they're just looking out for themselves, and wants to have whatever is most popular and more likely to be giving them job interview opportunities on their CVs.
VC dudes of course, are pure psychopaths, and would invest in sjit if they could gets them a 10x ROI ...
... which is why everything that's VC funded, if it's not sjit already, inevitably turns into sjit over time, because the VC firm will dictate how the CEO runs the project, resulting in the development process turning into a "popularity contest" ...
Indeed, the VC is very able to destroy future value for the sake of extracting more present value. His motives are often the antithesis of those who do make things.
It was not all that uncommon even last decade. When I developed the original fire engine red wickr client, I personally did over 50% of the code of that, and it had a few million public users.
I'm not remotely surprised. Even though there exists technically 27 million software developers in the world today, I suspect less than 100 of us are responsible for more than 50% of the working production code ...
