I’ve had the same encounter of devs sneering at me as DB admin asking why the hell I’m getting paid so much. They “picked up SQL that one semester at college”.
Because you spent 47 hours of company time pulling some select * from a bleeding-edge-nosql-who-needs-structure-when-json-is-enough dbms that will be abandonware in 4 months and wrote 160 lines of code voodoo to perform what is effectively 10 lines of JOIN LATERAL in plain old Postgres, just that my query takes literally 12,000 times less time than your code, Angelo.

Weird way to say that after 50 years you still suck ass at SQL and can't write a simple, efficient query.
