I got introduced to it by Claude the other day as I was interrogating several GB of public csv files. Seemed magical as it out them all in parquet files and transformed what I needed into the normalized sqllite for my server. Coding agents seen quite comfortable with it!

claude + duckdb combo is legendary for doing quick analysis of huge datasets. every time i need to analyze a big ass csv (200mb+) or as you noted a parquet file or really anything columnar i'll tell claude, 'you have duckdb at your disposal for this' and within minutes it's all sorted (no pun intended)
