If you are a data scientist or do anything with data... duckdb is like a swiss army knife. So many great ways it can help your workflow. The original video from CMU in 2020 [1] is a classic. Minutes 3-8 present a good argument for adding duckdb to your data cleaning/processing workflow.

And if you want to add a semantic layer on top of data, Malloy [2] is my favorite so far (it has duckdb built in):

Analytics with type-safe raw SQL (including DuckDb’s awesome extensions) is pure gold:

Over the years I've seen anecdotes here on HN that DuckDB crashes often for several people. Is this still an issue for anyone?

Thank you, I didn't realize all of the course counted as "slides and auxiliary material" haha

edit: Really great stuff in here. Every day at work I think about how much I love DuckDB
