The author is a professor at CMU who specializes in databases: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pavlo/

Not completely related, but his lectures on databases on YouTube are really good. Much better than the DB class I had at college.

A great way to learn more about the inner workings of databases, and entertaining too.

Another choice quote (from one of his lectures):

“There’s only two things I care about in life:

1. My wife

2. Databases

I don’t give a f#ck about anything else”

The author is hilarious! Quote from his article: “I even broke up with a girlfriend once because of sloppy benchmark results.”
