I'm just sharing my thoughts as a long-time reader. Again, it's your show. You don't have to defend your actions. Thanks for all that you do.

Thanks Tom, I appreciate the openness. You are seemingly overriding the wishes of the community, but it your community and you have the right to do so. I still think it's a shame, …

There are also 200+ comments on here and a good discussion IMO which is now unfortunately buried. Feels like a net negative for the HN community.

You buried a popular post because of the public accusation or just your "hunch"? Why not let your audience decide what it wants to read? I say this as a long time HN reader, who fe…

I don't understand your example: pgvectorscale was built and is maintained by Tiger Data

Thanks! We agree :-) We just launched a bunch around “Postgres for Agents” [0]: forkable databases, an MCP server for Postgres (with semantic + full-text search over the PG docs), …

Thanks for the kind words about TimescaleDB :-) We think we're still building great things, and our customers seem to agree. Usage is at an all-time high, revenue is at an all-time…

Appreciate the feedback! Will chat with the team.

This was a surprisingly fun and captivating read.

That's interesting. Personally I did not find it vague and ambiguous. ClickHouse was fast but required a lot of extra pieces for it to work: Writing data to Clickhouse Your service…

I agree with the overall sentiment of this post. I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way!) that every design choice comes with real trade-offs. There’s no magic database architecture …

That's fair. We referenced that quote because it captured a lot of the skepticism in the early days (and because that comment is public). No hard feelings though!

:-) I can't imagine the comments if we had chosen that...

That was one of our requirements when we started discussing a name change. :-)

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Would love to hear more if you are open to it: ajay [at] tigerdata [dot] com.

It depends on which benchmarks you use. "ClickBench evaluates databases using a single table of clickstream data, representative of workloads like web analytics, BI, and log aggreg…

Thank you for recognizing that in us.
