> I've spent a career writing thousands of lines of application code that would have never been needed if the database had been designed properly.
And then there's the time that I rewrote a small database application, but couldn't really reduce the byzantine schema, as that's just how our business works. However, I did reduce the main query from 727 lines to 93, and made it run twice as fast. And then, of course, the project was canceled because of politics, and the group still struggles with their terrible application, 3 years later.
I should really write a book about terrible management in Fortune 250's.
