Excellent point about simplicity. As a trained philosopher, I would start my knowledge product with a title like "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding of ...". The only person excited by that title was me, for sure!

Snowflake name itself is a piece of art! you are clearly an artist Benoit!

[@imnotabr]

😆are you for real? "Snowflake" is up there with the worst tech company names of all time. Benoit is uninspired picking that name

[@agritech802]

I agree with the assertion that a developer is like an artist, I've always felt this

[@deoarlo]

Amazing to be able to get Benoit here! I guess he's hard to reach so you guys record in a public space?

[@yuncita123]

Hi Deo! I'm Yunjoo, the producer of this video. First thanks for your comment! :) We chose to film it in a public space to show the vibrant atmosphere of the summit, even though it was an exclusive interview.

[@deoarlo]

@@yuncita123 Great production as always

[@samwisee]

Both Benoit and Terry are great guys and are pretty accessible to regular employees. Both are also still super involved in running the tech side of the company too. A lot of technical decisions still goes to Benoit to get approval.

[@Roo-ub2e]

He started in 2012 when the internet is boom so people adapt to snowflake technology

Now you have to start your own since we have a little revolution in the educational sector recently due to AI tools like ChatGPT etc than will make you to move faster

[@stefan9599]

Why don’t you start an AI company now since it’s boom and you can turn it into a 4B company than if it’s so easy
