Hannes Muhleisen is the creator of DuckDB and CEO of DuckDB Labs. We finally got a chance to meet in person at the Forward Data Conference in Paris. We hit it off immediately, and at times, I felt like I was talking with my long lost brother. Hannes is a very cool guy!

While at the conference, we recorded a chat about all things DuckDB, the challenges of data lakehouses and open table formats, local-first tech, and much more. 🦆 🐥

Jordan Tigani is back to chat about why small data is awesome, data lakehouses, DuckDB, AI, and much more.

Ryan Boyd and I chat about the evolution and future of databases, the pendulum between single-server and distributed computing, DuckDB and Motherduck, and much more.

We also talk about developer relations, which I consider Ryan as one of the OG's in the field.

Note - this was recorded the week of Databricks Summit 2023.
