This is, quite frankly, bullshit. SQL fundamentals transcend a given RDBMS. And when they don't, boo hoo, learn the syntax of your particular database flavor. We need not be so precious.

20 years ago (or more like 30-40), software actually did something for the user and wasn't just a ZIRP hack to make billions courtesy of Google and friends. Once the money became the entire point, once line go up, you just need to be able to fog a mirror long enough to get acquired. The number of supposedly senior developers who send me screenshots of stack traces they haven't even read makes me want to day drink heavily. I'm thinking of starting a bakery.

It's old so it's bad?

It's not just databases, it's everything: git, HTTP, even programming language features. The industry collectively decided you don't have to actually _know_ anything about anything anymore. And people wonder why software is so broken...

To verify, you have to think through the problem and arrive at a solution, like all of programming.

Nobody is entitled to any of this being easy. If you don't like working with badly-designed databases, why not simply work with people who know how databases work? In the meantime, I have bad news: nobody is going to do the hard work for you.
