I’m pretty sure all the people who are criticizing the database design haven’t read the ending. The article isn’t about the schema, it’s about helping those entry level programmers

It would be more effective at making that point if it didn’t have the confused and arguably incorrect section in the middle. If as a writer, the audience misses your point, maybe it’s a problem with your writing rather than the audience.

The problem is that the technical narrative in the post contributes to imposter syndrome and gaslights entry level programmers into thinking they’re doing database design wrong.

You don’t think it’s helpful for people to steer entry level programmers away from bad ideas like this one?
