Most of the points here are "don't do it, but if you do it's not a problem". It should be renamed with "Be careful about this"

- spprashant 2y agoI think it's more like, "don't do this" because there is perfectly saner alternatives available.
- karmakaze 2y agoEach section has 'why not' and 'when should you', so really it's a "Do (only) when" recommendation. I don't see sufficient justification for "Don't use serial"--the some weird behaviors links to a 404 page. The "Don't use varchar(n) by default" reasoning is similarly weak. This post doesn't doesn't give enough detail reasoning to be self-evident, and other than the quality of formatting could be a collection of anyone's blog posts. Some recommendations seem to be solid, but mixed with the arbitrary ones loses some of its recommendation strength.
