It's shocking how many developers are afraid of SQL, it hurts my soul.

  I honestly don't get it, it's not rocket science, and compared to freakin MongoDB it's a Sunday walk in the park.

  20+ years ago no one was afraid of it. Our front end web folk were doing SQL quite happily. Now they can't even consume an API without problems. I think the demand for staff has lowered standards considerably.

    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.

      Yeah nailed it there. Totally agree. I was going to start a grilled cheese van!
