Rusty Conover

Rusty went full whack-a-mole across the Query-farm extension ecosystem, dropping 26 commits across 18 different repos—from tributary and airport to the delightfully named shellfs and fuzzycomplete. While tending to this expansive DuckDB extension garden (including updates to quickjs, rapidfuzz, textplot, and friends), he also slipped behind closed doors for some classified tinkering on Project 337classified project and Project 557classified project.

Rusty spent the day deep in the shadows, channeling all five commits into classified operations. Four commits went into Project 337classified project while one landed in Project 310classified project—both shrouded in the usual secrecy and intrigue. No public repos saw action today, making this a full-fledged behind-closed-doors affair where the only witnesses are his IDE and whatever NDAs he's sworn to uphold.

Rusty went on an extension upgrade spree, opening eight PRs to enable DuckDB 1.5 builds for his community extensions (textplot, marisa, jsonata, json_schema, inflector, httpserver, httpclient, and adbc_scanner). He also gave fair-weather a friendlier rebrand to Fair Weather Friend, laid the foundation for snacks-report with production deployment fixes, and squeezed in a dozen classified commits split between Project 337classified project and Project 310classified project—because even open-source stewards need their secrets.
