If you are a data scientist or do anything with data... duckdb is like a swiss army knife. So many great ways it can help your workflow. The original video from CMU in 2020 [1] is a classic. Minutes 3-8 present a good argument for adding duckdb to your data cleaning/processing workflow.<p>And if you want to add a semantic layer on top of data, Malloy [2] is my favorite so far (it has duckdb built in):<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFUZlNQIndo" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFUZlNQIndo</a> [2]: <a href="https://docs.malloydata.dev/documentation/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.malloydata.dev/documentation/</a>

Over the years I've seen anecdotes here on HN that DuckDB crashes often for several people. Is this still an issue for anyone?
