This is the perfect description of Telstra as a company.

IMO, you can't build a great SDK without a great API. Duct tape only goes so far.

Appreciate Kotlin and others pushing it there.

This is not showing what you would always do, it's showing something novel that you could do.

In the full context of their statement, many modern databases separate the data storage component. RDS Aurora, etc.

The article shows dynamically fetching a database, with database level views, that dynamically fetch data.

You're just showing a query that dynamically fetches data.

https://duckdb.org/docs/sql/statements/create_view - the View is not physically materialized, but the query is run every time the view is referenced in a query.

Somewhat related. I've been looking at RPKI lately, and there are two things I'm not overly impressed with:

1. LACNIC and RIPE have 100 year validity on their trust anchors.

2. All RIR trust anchors are valid for all IPs (past their allocations), due to, I assume, inter-RIR transfers.
