It's sad to see this mistake being made repeatedly. It kind of works like this 1) Small project started, MySQL is used because that's all the developer knows

It's sad to see this mistake being made repeatedly. It kind of works like this
1) Small project started, MySQL is used because that's all the developer knows
or it's convenient
2) Strict mode is never turned on; developer has no idea it exists
3) App gets popular
4) Too late to enable Strict
It's really the main reason why I don't recommend MySQL. Theres so many mistakes waiting to be made.

There's a secret "don't suck as much" switch? TURN IT ON!!
