> not to fuck up schema/db design

The neat thing is, you don't. Nobody ever avoids fucking up db design.

The best you can do is decide what is really important to get right, and not fuck that part up.

Wow, what an astute comment! Thank you!

P.S. to the original person concerned about this though… for your own sake and your successors, please keep trying.

Assuming that was sarcastic, you are free to try, I guess everyone needs to try it once.

Just do the exercise of deciding what is really important first, so you can make sure you succeed for that stuff.

Sigh. Sorry. Not sarcastic, I actually really appreciated your comment. Been working in this space 20+ years and you speak truth.
