This was great. Clever twist at the end.

I cringed a little because some of those mistakes looks like stuff I would do even now. I have a ton on of front/back end experience in a huge variety of languages and platforms, but I am NOT a database engineer. That’s a specific skillset I never picked up nor, admittedly, am I passionate about.

Sorry to go off on a tangent, but it also brings to mind that even so-called experts make mistakes. I watch a lot of live concert footage from famous bands from the 60s to the 90s, and as a musician myself, I spot a lot of mistakes even among the most renowned artist…with the sole exception of Rush. As far as I can tell, that band was flawless and miraculously sounded better live than on record!
