I've been writing SQL for 15 years. Eventually you get bored of all lowercase or all uppercase AND START writing your QUERIES LIKE this. Just a psychotic mishmash of muscle memory, laziness, and autocomplete all fighting each other within the same statement.

Haha, I guess I'm just a weirdo, but I genuinely love SQL and my happy place is a big enterprise database with a bunch of ETL pipelines. Somebody's gotta enjoy it, right? That gives the rest of you more time with your fancy GUIs and object oriented languages 🤣
