heikki

It started with a deck three years ago and a team of myself, Heikki and Stas.

A close to impossible task, if anyone can do it's probably Heikki though.

Also it couldn't have been possible without the support of Heikki and Andres (who actually submitted this to HN as his first ever submission).

I did email Heikki the following questions, in case if someone from Neon is around here.

At the time Heikki was at was vmware, Peter G.

Why shouldn't have Heikki brought this up for discussion?

I met with Heikki in Estonia for local Postgres user group meetup.

Hey I'm fairly new to the who's who in the PostgreSQL world, would you mind telling why Heikki might be able to pull this off?

Robert Haas admitted that it would be a huge amount of work and that it would only be achievable by a small few people anyway, Heikki being among them.

--- Heikki from the Neon team presented a talk about why they chose to develop Neon in Rust and what their experience was in Rust Finland 2022.

One of the last messages its developer Heikki Ylinen left on his website reads: If you want to know what the future of digital music looks like, I recommend giving Spotify a go.

Here's another disturbing pitstop fire of Heikki Kovalainen leaving the pit stall with the fueling hose still attached and the fuel gets sprayed on his compatriot Kimi Räikkönen, who went on to finish the race in 5th spot.

Heikki is far from the only "senior" postgres contributor thinking that this is the right direction in the long term.

Heikki is definitely not just "some guy".

Heikki Linnakangas is one of the top Postgres contributors of all time, he isn't just "someone." The fact he's working for a startup on a fork (that already exists, which you can run right now on your local machine) doesn't warrant any snide dismissal.

Heikki was behind major decision and has done a lot of prototyping.

As an aside, I've also met people from Neon at various conferences, including co-founder Heikki.

Heikki Linnakangas has a good understanding of Postgres as well however.
