But you have to say what he did wrong too; "you're an idiot" is just the first step to becoming them people. Nice try though.

OK, I'l bite.

* He tries to make a sensational title.

* He makes a lot of grammatical errors.

* He doesn't mention the fact that there seems to be a fix for the issue

(see https://github.com/duckdb/uc_catalog/issues/8#issuecomment-2486833314)

* He doesn't mention anything about contacting the duckdb team for clarification.

* He makes very vague claims about OOM errors to spread FUD

* He is bashing Open Source tools that are made freely available to him and everybody else without contributing anything valuable himself.

* He likes to write "You know" wherever he needs to make his sentences, like, more sensational, you know. It kinda sucks, you know.

Calling the maintainers of a library you claim to enjoy a lot liars simply because you couldn't get a very early-stage prototype feature to work in your environment is quite heavy-handed. It does less to insult the maintainers than it does expose your lack of ability and professionalism. It's okay to say "this didn't work for me" but all-out accusing the team of straight-up lying about a feature is borderline slanderous, and makes it seem like you might be an awful person to work with. I get that this "no holds barred" thing is your vibe for engagement purposes, but have some respect for the people who build and maintain the tools you (ungratefully) use day-to-day. We're standing on the shoulders of giants here, not stepping on their faces.

Next time something doesn't work the way you expect, make an issue on github. Or maybe consider contributing a fix yourself instead of leeching on others' work for likes.
