And because we've got all this data on project mentions we can do our own ranking of databases and programming languages.

It is a small but growing dataset. Rankings will change as we track more organizations and stabilize somewhat.
The Consensus Weekly went out yesterday with four new internships for you.

Already had a view of which companies are mentioning various major infrastructure projects so easy next step was to rank them
(tons of caveats, largest of which is that this is just a view of what we index so far: ~500 companies, ~4500 jobs, ~12,000 articles)

Honored to be featured by @eatonphil.bsky.social in The Consensus 🙏 We talked about the data services we are building at @clever.cloud, all API-compatible with Redis, PostgreSQL and etcd on top of FoundationDB. Give it a read 👇
Very cool to be linked to from @infoworld.bsky.social. The summary isn't quite right though in that it wasn't a purely negative change. The article demonstrates cases where both versions of the GC do well. Python developers decided (for now) to prefer the characteristics of the previous GC.
I spoke with Pierre Zemb from French neo-compute company Clever Cloud. They're building data services API-compatible with popular systems like Redis, PostgreSQL, and etcd on top of FoundationDB and Pierre is leading the work.
There is no paywall, give it a read.

New in The Consensus: comments (all paid subscribers can comment) and gift links (Standard tier can gift link). We'll see how this goes!
bittersweet!
