Today is my first day @PlanetScale as a Developer Educator. It hasn’t quite sunk in that I work at the database hat company I’ve been a fan of for years. PlanetScale is the gold standard for infrastructure companies; there have been many days when I’ve worn the database hat and tried to emulate their spirit in my work. I’m excited to join this set of heretical, truly p99 folks. You could spend an hour bumping into people at the office and learn that the keyboard rack was handmade by an engineer who flew in from the East Coast to install it, or that your office manager is a sake sommelier with a really granular rating spreadsheet, and that wouldn’t even scratch the surface of how great every single person is. I always have a great time nerding out about databases, and I’m excited to bring more of that joy to you through events and content, or over coffee. If you want to chat, please say hi in my DMs or at christian at planetscale dot com.
