I love and use both clickhouse and duckdb all the time, but it's become almost comical how senior clickhouse leadership comment on any duckdb-related HN thread like clockwork. And only very rarely bring up their affiliation :)
I wasn't trying to imply anything negative about DuckDB with my post - was just sharing how ClickHouse does the same thing. FWIW: the blog author added my query to his blog, so my non-combative comment was politely received.
clickhouse is really cool tech. duckdb is really cool tech. i grow weary of the CH infiltration to the point where it’s working against the intent to make me love CH
