This week I look at agents.

I think this is a new way to build where we don’t intentionally build code-based software.

I don't usually share photos of my family on social media for good reason, but I'm happy to share these ones!

Check out this magic duck it, it can walk on water.

Maybe it is a @duckdb.org extension.

I've noticed Harlequin has this neat Query History, that doesn't seem to exist in @duckdb.org, I tested it by running queries outside of Harlequin on DuckDB separately that then don't show up in Harlequin history.

Does DuckDB have a query history anywhere?

Not from a shared cup or you’re doing it wrong.

These ones, same wine separate glass.

How do you get your AI feature to work? I've turned it on and written a comment like this but nothing happens in SQLWorkbench

It's time to try SQL Workbench

I wonder what the data version of this is 😂

I am definitely flying in for @duckdb.org DuckCon6 in Amsterdam.

Coming in hot, but staying the night to enjoy the afterparty!

I'm tempted to host a dinner in town for any @cubedev.bsky.social and @duckdb.org fans, let me know if you're interested. I'll find somewhere that serves 🦆😈.

This looks like @matsonj.com's vocation. Did some duck eggs hatch on your desk and now the ducks just follow you around everywhere? 🦆🦆🦆

I’m a bit tired after last night’s Meetup hopefully this will kick me up a gear.

Will share photos and slides from the Meetup shortly 👀

I asked Cursor how to do it, and it made a valiant attempt.

Ontological question: what is a danish called in Denmark 🇩🇰?

I’m doing a line of Milka.

It’s a busy day and I didn’t sleep well so might need to do a few more as the day goes along.
