Things I wished more developers knew about databases

This echos my experience. I've written some complicated SQL queries, but I do it rarely enough that I always have to re-learn a lot of it.

There have been a number of instances where I have had to look something up seemingly for the first time, found a good Stack Overflow answer, and then chuckled to myself because I had already upvoted that exact answer at some point in the past. SQL queries are a pretty common source of this, along with uncommon git and terminal commands.

Very true about git. I would add C++ to that lis. Done full time it’s super powerful. But later or with less experience you look at the code and think “WTF?” .
