5 Things Developers do that Drive Me Crazy
summary
Developers skip basics and operations pays for it: demand a no data model mindset change — create a real schema with keys and constraints; treat PII as a project deliverable and implement security in the DB; prefer built‑in packages and Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler over hand‑rolled code; trace performance and measure: one app issues 58,000 executions of two statements totalling 220,000 round trips (330 µs each) and chokes from latency; use Flyway/liquibase for releases and actually read the manual.
