Seeing Primeagen featured on homepage is concerning - a financial database requiring absolute reliability doesn't align with someone whose brand is built on chaos and controversy.



An interview with an influencer instead of e.g. a real customer is really a strange decision.


We could make it more clear, but it's not an interview.

The link is to a video of a talk we presented about TigerBeetle, it's an overview and demo.

If you haven't watched it yet, take a look and let me know if you still feel that we shouldn't point people to it.

What controversy ?


I think that's a bit disingenuous. How is his brand built on chaos and controversy? I've watched some of his videos and he honestly seems like a really reasonable guy.


"chaos and controversy" might be a stretch but I see him solely as an 'influencer' rather than a programmer. Clickbait, reaction content; I remember the last video I watched of his was a C "code review", but based on what I watched, he doesn't know C. Lots of uninformed opinions appealing to people who don't really know what they're seeing.


brand is doing the same work as personality in this sentence
