I love DuckDB and am cheering for MotherDuck, but I think bragging about how fast you can query small data is really no different than bragging about big data. In reality, big data's success is not about data volume. It's about enabling people to effectively collaborate on data and share a single source of truth.

I don't know much about MotherDuck's plans, but I hope they're focused on making it as easy to collaborate on "small data" as Snowflake/etc. have made it to collaborate on "big data".
