I enjoyed this episode. I knew about all the tests before, but what came clear in this interview is that Sqlite inc is using their tests as a unique way to keep contracts on Sqlite development flowing. Since they can test it so much better than anyone else, it would be crazy not to hire them, rather than hiring someone else to develop a patch.
While they're keeping those tests proprietary, and relatedly have a closed development model, this strikes me as still better than typical open core strategies for monetizing free software, or at least pointing in better directions.
Agbell, since you're here, could I ask you add a standard link to the RSS feed for your podcast?
Minor nitpick: technically, the primary company that supports SQLite is an incorporated partnership named Hipp [ed note: yes, that's Mr. Richard Hipp], Wyrick [ed note: Hipp's wife] & Company, Inc. dba Hwaci (https://www.hwaci.com/).
