  We are so lucky to be such a young field where these founding members of the field are still around and able to be interviewed

  Most diplomatic way to call someone a liar. “He makes the present and future tense indistinguishable.”

  An interviewer who lets the interviewee complete a thought without interruption is such a joy.

  Such a pleasure to hear real engineers speak. It's so insightful and such a good break from the marketing hype nonsense.

  Dude the way you ask questions is better than 99.9% of interviewers. You get out the way and are not trying to impress us or yourself with how clever your questions are you just ask the question I want to ask 😅<br><br>Awesome. Keep up the great work!<br><br>Sub&apos;d

  &quot;We put in the 90% so we could make it work by ourselves, then for whatever reason, we put in the next 90%... What a a quote 🙃&quot;

  Calling Larry Ellison “a little bit shady” is like calling the ocean “a little bit wet.”

  I was just doing my usual scrolling, but I didn’t expect this jewel of an interview. I had to stop and listen to the whole thing. I’ve been programming for 30 years and it’s rare I get to listen to somebody speak in my own field and be so interesting. It’s not just the nuts and bolts, but also the history and the history of these kinds of things disappears if people don’t record it. This is exactly what YouTube is best for.

  Stonebraker was my grad Masters curriculum (not thesis) advisor in 83-84. I got to watch the early days of ingress and much other cool stuff in those two years. A blessing. Berkeley at that time was ground zero for much of what we now take for granted.

  Instantly like the guy. The “I don’t give AF” attitude of someone that actually know what they are speaking about. &nbsp;And not being afraid of calling hyped up BS for what it is. 🤣👌
