I was initially going to add some stuff I find a bit... shocking in the 2020s related to what I think are basic database stuff (maybe not specifically 4nf related). Held off, but I'll add one. A colleague had to argue that an 'address' table should have a synthetic primary key, instead of a natural key. The argument for the initial 'design' held that 'the address itself is unique - there's not 2 '123 west main streets'!". Wasn't my company directly, but the crux of the conversation was shared with me, and ... in 2022, with however many articles, tutorials, books, classes, stackoverflow, etc... having to argue that 'no, someone's entire address should not be the natural key for a table' was ... flummoxing to me.
