The data warehouse built for getting answers from your data. Works with AI agents and SQL. Built in collab with @ducklabs_com
- Your AI agent can now build your data pipelines. Introducing Flights: agent-native data pipelines, built into MotherDuck. Point your agent at the MCP server and describe what you want: → deployed Python pipelines in minutes → ingest, transform, call an LLM, replicate from a

We're excited to co-host the Real-Time Lakehouse & Agentic AI Meetup on June 15, 2026, together with our partners MotherDuck and Lenses to discuss the future of real-time AI and data infrastructure. Our speakers include: Rayees Pasha, CPO, RisingWave Tun Shwe, AI Lead, Lenses
- "Vibe coding is very dangerous and irresponsible." Agentic engineering is not. @sspaeti interviewed @wesmckinn (creator of pandas, co-creator of Apache Arrow) on how he ships with AI: hours speccing, sub-agents watching for drift, every commit auto-reviewed.
- Replying to @motherduck @sspaeti and @wesmckinnAnd the open question: how do we grow senior engineers when the hard labour we used to learn from is gone? Wes bets on learning by osmosis, design patterns, architecture
- Replying to @motherduck @sspaeti and @wesmckinnHis sharpest line: "When code is free, saying no is our last defense." Every feature is cheap to create and expensive to maintain. Scope, design, and taste are what's left.
- Replying to @motherduck @sspaeti and @wesmckinnWes runs Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI daily. ~$20k/month at API rates. Trust comes from the process: the superpowers skill framework for specs, and his own AI reviewer Roborev catching what slips through.
- Replying to @motherduck @sspaeti and @wesmckinnVibe coding = one-prompt it, never look at the code, ship it. Agentic engineering = hours in the spec phase, the architecture comes from you, sub-agents watch for drift, and every commit gets auto-reviewed before it lands.

- Is your Postgres slow at answering analytics questions? It's a familiar wall: Postgres ships the product, then absorbs the dashboards, then the customer-facing analytics tab. Then one day it stops keeping up. Ten-second page loads. API timeouts. Read replicas that don't help.
- Multiple DuckDB processes can now write to the same lakehouse table without Spark. Daniel Beach calls catalog commits "a big deal nobody's talking about" on the new Explain Analyze. Also: ADBC, Cloudflare's Skipper, and a 40x speedup from an agent in a loop.
