Database nerd, reader, writer, a little sketchy but I try to be a good guy overall. In love with KittyG.https://bsky.app/profile/timcostello.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/timcostello.bsky.social/post/3lv335qpct22mDuckDB and MotherDuck seem pretty great. Any of my SQL friends using them yet?29 Jul 2025 02:36 +0000at://did:plc:mrb5o7h4lq5bqwuecfschbqk/app.bsky.feed.post/3lv335qpct22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/timcostello.bsky.social/post/3lkzceevaus2sHere's a funny thing. I'm trying to build a business for myself. The harder I try, the more I get stuck. When I stop trying as hard, but keep doing the right small next steps without expectations (and with an open mind) all of a sudden I'm flooded with inspiration every time I turn around.23 Mar 2025 03:28 +0000at://did:plc:mrb5o7h4lq5bqwuecfschbqk/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkzceevaus2shttps://bsky.app/profile/timcostello.bsky.social/post/3ljxibvki7s2hOn my way home from SQL Saturday Atlanta.
