ps. Brent you helped kickstart my career when I was exposed to your early contributions on StackOverflow and MetaStackOverflow. By far the largest accelerant I ever had on the DBMS front, really cool seeing you around so I wanted to send a friendly thank you.

I keep our CMU research strictly firewalled from OtterTune for legal reasons. The Database Gym project rose up from the ashes of the NoisePage self-driving DBMS project. See my comment from last week about why it failed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36355963 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36355963
- Dopameaner 3y agoa random aside, I truly thank you for your course. You're the teacher I wish I had in my bachelor's 8 years back. Singlehandedly revived my interest in learning databases. :). Through your course, I reached a stage where I can help OSS projects and its features.

- nickpeterson 3y agoI can second his appreciation, posts on your site helped me keep my sanity as a junior developer who stood to close to a database server.
