I'm not sure why it would need to be "disclosed", other than to suggest the author knows what they're talking about due to "domain knowledge".

It's because he has reason to destroy other competitors. Nice read otherwise.

  He "destroys" one competitor as much as he praises another. He's never comparing either with ragedb.
  - chaps 4y ago
    Like another poster commented -- he has shares in that company that he praises.

He does "disclose" in related blog post [1]: "I don’t work for Neo4j anymore, why am I here defending them? Well… that and the fact that I still have a dinghy load of vested shares I have to sell so I can buy a place in the Villages and begin a new life as a golf cart driving day drinker." This seems like a series of post on benchmarking results from different vendors so if he "disclosed" it once I don't think that there is need for another one.

Maybe because I don’t trust someone who allegedly writes databases but is proud about not knowing python.

  Who in their right mind would implement a database engine in Python?
  - ramraj07 4y ago
    Absolutely no one, but doesn’t mean you look down on one of the most popular languages as if it’s beneath you.

      So what you're saying is that he is opinionated about popular languages just like every other developer in the world. You don't think you can trust him to write databases because he doesn't like a language that he would never use to write a database. Weird. Linus Torvalds also hates one of the most popular languages in the world: C++. He must not know anything about operating systems...

        You can hate python or c, but he didn’t say he hated it, he said he didn’t KNOW it. Do you think Linus doesn’t know python or c++?

        He has literally never talked about python. It's probably safe to assume he doesn't know it.

  Why? Do you think Python is a necessity for DB design?
