Right on. These choices are often frontloaded to the greenfield stage, where you have to make some decision, way before you can say which data model makes the most sense in the future. Even the wisest of architects cannot predict everything, so it’s not for a lack of competence. The people I knew at @faang-gig were incredible bright, but technical design as an early mover is still an incredibly delicate art form.
