Working for a web firm that has a CMS, and web platform that is 95% ran from SQL queries. Reading this reminds me how cluttered and loaded websites have become.

Working for a web firm that has a CMS, and web platform that is 95% ran from SQL queries. Reading this reminds me how cluttered and loaded websites have become.
