In case people read the comments first, this is about postgres data types.
It's pretty comprehensive and I especially liked the section about how datatypes are implemented internally (pg 25). I wish it went into more details though.

My only question is: if the "money" type is bad, what should we use instead? The author proposed a new "currency" type, but that doesn't exist yet.
OT: I initially thought that the article would be about function types, which are also called exponential types (hence the pun on "power").
