PostgreSQL Anonymizer developer here : this was possible with version 0.8 which is now completely unmaintained.
This extension is currently not available on RDS but it is available on many others DBaaS providers : Azure SQL, Google Cloud SQL, Crunchy Bridge, ....
I tried to figure out how/if this does what I need and your README had no examples. I clicked a couple of level deep, found no obvious demonstrations and left.
I checked the homepage but I do not watch Loom-style demos personally, definitely not 5 minute ones, and so I left.

When I click on OP's link, or just search for it on Google, it takes less than a full page for the extension to show me an extremely straightforward demonstration of its value. You should have something like that.
A simple example of what queries will look like, what setup will look like, all concisely communicated, no 5 minute lectures involved.
You’re basically me. I was a daily NPR listener until the Trump era. If a never-Trumper can’t handle NPR abandoning all pretense of objectivity, that might be a bad sign.
Wish I could give this more upvotes. I was fully remote for more than a decade before COVID, but now I’m seeing all the same things you’ve written about here. It’s a huge regression.
Depends on the industry. In games you had to fight tooth and nail to be remote. Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft really, really did not want devkits to be in private residences.
Pandemic comes and a lot more of that relaxes. Like the rest of tech, some studios are trying to revert but there's a lot less doctor's notes needed to justify remote now.
Between this and the recent elimination of 401k matching, IBM is sending a strong signal that it’s not a place I’d ever want to work. Hard to imagine they will be able to attract or retain talent.
I’ve worked (burned out) under this. Eventually I realized that “debate everything” just meant the boss really loved to debate, because he could always “win.”
> And now maybe the "original remote workers" are affected, too.
I think there’s a lot to this. Those of us who worked remote for many years before COVID probably developed more efficient ways of working over time. Then the pandemic hit and we were suddenly vastly outnumbered by newly remote folks who didn’t actually know how to work remotely.
Thanks for saying this. I’m strongly considering leaving a job primarily due to the meeting culture. It’s just incredibly wasteful. We can spend weeks talking about things I would have knocked out in days in a previous role.
Robustly challenge what you think are unwarranted meetings. Preface your input in meetings that are silly but still exist with "Hi, I'll keep this concise because I know everyone has a lot of work to do ...", make a habit of reconfirming the value and purpose of the remaining meetings. Make it normal for meetings to whither quickly when not vital.
I go further and simply don't attend meetings that lack an agenda or at the very least point out when there isn't one when the meeting starts.
I was complaining about this to my manager, he said attending meetings doesn't affect my perf and I just shouldn't go if I think it's pointless. So I stopped going to a couple. No one has made a peep. I need to start voicing for the smaller meetings tho. I've starting asking the groups "any agenda for today?" A couple hours before but I feel like the meeting organizer should really be on top of this.
