I don't disagree, but only because I have a lot of experience with SQL so I "think" more in those terms. The blog post made perfect sense to me, and I have to go to claude/openai/copilot for whatever I need in `jq`, EVERY TIME. Because I don't use it nearly as often, so I don't have its language internalized.

Readability (and I'd posit to the point of this, power) is more a function of the reader than the code, pg's "blub paradox" notwithstanding.

I didn't know anything about duckdb, but I might give this a shot.
