How not to structure database-backed web apps: performance bugs in the wild

People do this because it’s easier, takes less time, and is within the paradigm their head is already in all day.

We should fix our abstractions instead of telling people they don’t understand data. The latter is fine every so often, but doesn’t scale and isn’t even true most of the time.

Or maybe we should just nut up and tell people they don’t understand data?

Why not both? Truly, we should work to have better abstractions. We shouldn’t glorify making our own lives more difficult. And we shouldn’t glorify ignorance either! It’s not an either/or dichotomy here
