Simon Eskildsen(@Sirupsen):the first time I met CTO @nikhilbenesch was for lunch in Dec '24 in NYC, and the table at the Greek restaurant was wobbly. My grandmother Grete always carried a shim in her purse, and to pay homage to her, I always carry one too so I immediately I pulled it out at that lunch and fixed the table. that's when @nikhilbenesch knew this was it. he would join turbopuffer. I gifted him the shim. yesterday I went shimless to a restaurant in NYC. a reckless endeavour for anyone of Grete's linage, especially in NYC. fortunately, @nikhilbenesch brought his shim. he had waited 16 months for this moment. ❤️
