Yeah, as I said, did a hundred things. I designed database schema without picking up a single book on database. First implementation was 100 DB accesses per Story fetch, and it blew the cap on my BaaS in days of development. LOL. Quickly figured out what's wrong via API documentation, redesigned the schema (I didn't even know what the word schema is, I thought it's just Excel table rows & columns). Shrunk it down to 0 accesses for query actions (query also fetch basic metadata for 50 Stories at the same time). Probably got all these done in 2/3 weeks, a quarter of the time someone goes thru a DB design course?
It's really hard to even recall dozens of these experience and shrink them into stories and putting words to these. In the startup world, it's called 'Get Shit Done'. In the monolithic FAANG & FAANG wannabe world, I dunno what it's called...
