I’m definitely not an expert and I haven’t found running postgres any more difficult than mysql. There are some differences that take a bit of getting used to, though.
I have first hand experience this ,as I was recently diagnosed with reactive hypoglycaemia[1]. The recommended treatment was eating protein and vegetables before carbohydrates, along with daily 12 hour fasting, and within week my symptoms were gone. It's apparently an intestinal issue, where it over-reacts to the presence of carbs when the stomach is empty, and is fairly common in people who have had bariatric surgery.
I’ll add to this and say that people are mostly looking for validation when discussing problems, and that should always be your first response. If you feel you have valuable advice to give, ask them if they want it and make sure they’ll actually be receptive.
I think part of the issue is that a huge chunk of Mozilla's revenue comes from their deal with Google, which expires in a few months is unlikely to be renewed with similar numbers, if at all.
Elevators are a huge problem: a friend of mine told me her employer calculated it would take 24 hours for all employees to arrive at their desks if they follow social distancing rules.
