Snowflake? You mean the guys who spent 700 million to buy streamlit, a (worse than gradio) python front end.

They’re unicorns for being extremely stupid. I’ll give you that.

They're the only big company that are doing any practical development on database systems (MongoDB doesn't count; and Yandex, while fantastic, is removed from the count for being Russian, in these times).

Every company has their warts. Some warts don't matter to me.
