Seems like you're affiliated with DuckDB? Knowing what paper inspired the software [0], and regularly commenting about it's performance/recommending it [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Perhaps you should consider being more forthcoming?

Hey, this is HN you know :)

It's not unusual for happy, unaffiliated users to post enthusiastically, or even evangelise a bit, about the software they love most.

Case in point, I often pop up in TimescaleDB threads to sing it's praise regarding real-world usage, but I'm not affiliated with the TimescaleDB folks in any way.

I am not affiliated, just a happy user! I have spoken with one of the developers, but that's it!

I've just come up through the SQL side of analytics and I'm moving into Data Science and I feel like DuckDB is a superpower for people with my background.

Does that help? Happy to answer any other questions!
