0:00.0	Programming Throwdown, Episode 166, Speedy Database Queries with Lucas Fiddle.
0:22.7	Take it away, Patrick.
0:24.5	Hey, everyone. Welcome to another episode.
0:27.1	Pretty excited about this one.
0:28.6	Well, I think I say that every time.
0:29.9	It's because it's true every time.
0:31.5	Try to bring you guys good content.
0:33.3	Today, talking a little bit about some part of databases we haven't talked about. We've had a fair amount of people on to talk about various aspects of database and learned a lot. Today, Lucas is here and he's going to help us understand some a little bit lower level stuff, some some optimization and queries. We had a bunch of good thoughts, even in the pre-recording. I took notes. I don't know how many of we're going to get to.
0:56.1	But I'm excited to have Lucas here.
0:52.5	Lucas is the founder at PG-Analyze. Welcome to the show, Lucas. Thank you. Thanks for having me. All right. So we normally start off by talking a little bit about how people got into tech. So the question we normally tee up at the beginning is,
0:56.0	what was your first sort of like computer programming experience?
0:56.5	Like, do you have like a formative moment where you're like, the question we normally tee up at the beginning is what was your first sort of like computer
1:10.9	programming experience like do you have like a formative moment where you're like ah yeah that's
1:15.9	that's it that's magical yeah good question so how did they get into tech was probably i think it was
1:22.9	my dad's laptop which was probably running, Windows 95 or whatever was before that
1:28.0	at that point. So I'm in my 30s now for context. And I remember what fascinated me back then.
1:34.5	There was this game where you had these apes throwing bananas at each other, and you could program
1:39.1	it because it was just written in, I think, a version of Visual Basic or something, or like Basic,
1:42.8	I think just at a time. And so I think how I I got into programming, you could argue, is going in and modifying that game,
1:48.8	so, you know, the ape would throw a banana a bit stronger, essentially. And so that kind of stuff
1:54.6	was, like, fascinating for me early on. And how I think I got actually into serious programming
2:00.1	was probably, you know,
