What the fuck.

I've never been that strong of an engineer. TIL that at one of my internships I was building DuckDB but for the company's private use cases. Well, trying to anyways. I didn't really get the whole picture, the pieces did not fit into place.

Didn't get the return offer obviously, probably because I didn't make the connection (or really a coherent narrative of what I was building). RIP. You live and you learn, I guess.
