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 :)

You mean this username composed of a random assortment of Latin characters isn't an unaffiliated, independent commentator?!
...says the completely anonymous internet guy. I'm laughing as much as you are.

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.

but what the person said is true: seems like clickhouse comments descend upon every recent duckdb post as if it’s some sort of competition or born out of inferiority complex.

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

Is it so annoying? I am happy that we have at least two projects that can query big datasets with very reasonable performance.
yes it is quite annoying. i would love to see a CH dedicated post to extol its virtues and not a piggyback “us too” comment on a duckdb post.
Hey man - not trying to get on the bad side of one of my favourite databases! Making an observation, one that others have made as well.
