The Journey of DuckDB Spatial Extension

In this Quack&Code, we have Max Gabrielsson from ‪@duckdb‬ one of the main contributors to the DuckDB spatial extension. We talked about how this extension came to life, what's cooking for next, plus a hands-on demo.

PS: we are aware that we had some small sound issues in the first part of the talk, apologies for this! :)
