On episode 14 of Data Renegades, CL Kao speaks with Hannes Mühleisen, co-creator of DuckDB, about building databases that people actually want to use.

They explore DuckLake, the Quack client-server protocol, and how a focus on human usability is paying off as AI agents begin choosing their own tools.
