Wow. Seriously, how does that even happen? They hire people without a computer science degree that doesn't know about normalization? I don't have any experience with that so I'm actually curious as to how it happens, if you know, and have had experience with that.

As mentioned above, FAANG is only five companies, so the overwhelming majority of companies are not FAANG-scale. And down at the opposite end of the scale, yes of course there are lots -- literally millions, across the world -- of companies that don't have anyone with a computer science degree employed, so the owner (or his brother-in-law's 16-year-old "computer whiz" nephew) built any database they may have.

  Managers often don't understand the value of good DBA's and/or schema designers. They focus on the UI first, assuming if it ain't visible it ain't important.
