Is @duckdb.org cooking native data lake integration with streaming support through WAL? That could enable DuckDB to have a multi-user mode..

After not using Facebook for years, wanted to try out Marketplace. Apparently you can send messages to people on the website but you can only see messages are sent to you on their Messenger app. I guess this is their definition of “connecting people”.

Just found out that Databricks hired Snowflake’s Polaris (Iceberg) lead PM. It’s crazy how aggressive these guys with the competition!

Great to see Amazon implementing Iceberg REST Catalog layer for Glue! It enables read/write support on S3Tables from any Iceberg client, now everybody as a free Iceberg catalog via AWS Glue. aws.amazon.com/blogs/storag...

Released an experimental @fastapi.tiangolo.com integration with @duckdb.org today, which enables REST APIs to have bidirectional read/write support in SQL. github.com/buremba/duck...

"think twice before you speak."

Today I had to explain my partner what @duckdb.org is because “I will fly to Amsterdam for a day to meet ducks” didn’t make any sense to her. Excited to meet with the contributors! duckdb.org/events/2025/...

It's interesting to see many seed-stage, well-funded startups trying to "re-write X in Rust." as a business model. WarpStream, ScyllaDB, and Redpanda are successful because they're either 10x efficient or make the maintenance much easier than their alternative, not because they're written in C++

It's a good day to be acquired in the data space.

People say LLM is killing low-code platforms such as Retool and Bubble, but they seem to hire more people + raise even more funding. They're better positioned to leverage LLM maybe. The AI tools like bolt.new and v0.dev work best with Next + Shacdn combination after all, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Great article! While it focuses on first party data sharing, IMO third party data sharing is also pretty interesting with the new “Clean Room” concept. Thanks to the differential privacy and confidential computing, now you can share confidential data and make sure your collaborator doesn’t abuse it.

It took 5 minutes to create this dashboard with @rilldata.com's AI auto-generate features. Impressive @medriscoll.com!

Spotify is one of the few companies that lets you download your raw event logs. The dump is extensive, with around 200 event types; my dump is over 300MB. 🤯 Just enable the technical log information in the export, and here is what you get: www.spotify.com/uk/account/p...

@hannes.muehleisen.org warned about this a few weeks ago: "While, in theory, all these things are going to be sitting on S3 to actually meaningfully interact with them, you need to talk to some API somewhere. There's going to be a gatekeeper in front of that API." youtu.be/a-RmhY5RPVg?...

I have seen probably like 100 people talking about how S3 Tables will change the industry but I have only seen one person actually trying it. I guess that’s how social media works.

That you can build Twitter (bsky) with 20 people instead of 2000 means bsky can pursue monetization models that Twitter never could. This is a pattern I see across many startups now. Tech has gotten good enough to ship products at 10x-100x less cost compared to 20 years ago. 1/n
