About

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Hi. I’m Matt Yonkovit. Most people who’ve been around open source databases for a while know me as The Yonk. Or The HOSS, from the years I carried around the title Head of Open Source Strategy. I picked that one myself. I regret nothing.

This is where I park the stuff I build on nights and weekends — and increasingly, the stuff I build during the day that refuses to stay in a single company repo. Some of it is useful. Some of it is me arguing with myself in code. Occasionally those are the same thing.
