Am I missing something or is the content empty?
Unfortunately it does not seem that there are lecture videos.
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.

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):

Thank you for the recommendation on that video! I've already adopted to using DuckDB for my ad-hoc analytics work but I didn't know the background
thank you! Learned why DuckDB is named this way
Over the years I've seen anecdotes here on HN that DuckDB crashes often for several people. Is this still an issue for anyone?
That was a good start for understanding DuckDB internals!!!
