One of the interesting things that @theconsensusdev data gives us (w.r.t. the Xata acquisition by ClickHouse) is this momentum tracker for companies and open source projects.
It's a ratio of external mentions of the company or its projects to total mentions (among companies and projects and developers we index) over time, in blog posts and job postings.
A momentum graph like ClickHouse's is pretty ideal for a startup.

Oh sweet, @theconsensusdev language popularity ranking cited by @ZDNET. Of course, The Consensus popularity ranking is limited to software infrastructure companies (that we index) but that still makes it its own interesting thing.

I'm starting a virtual talk series next year, hosted by @theconsensusdev.
Not product pitches, not founders speaking. Please encourage an experienced developer at your org to give a talk about a technical challenge you've been dealing with.
