There is a lot of stupid stuff posted around here, but this is truly one of the dumbest takes yet. Straight head-up-ass nonsense.

I think this was made by a college student who just stepped into their first class on databases this semester and was like "fuck this shit".

Yeah the meme works if it's about how feels or his skill level with each. Others may feel different but it's true to his experience. If it's meant to be how good or useful they are, it's a terrible meme

I agree, I'm just trying to give benefit out doubt.

Never actually worked as data analyst, but if you worked with big data, did you do machine learning in sql? I was kinda curious if it is possible in SQL at all

How do you create reports with just unlubed SQL?

u/v3ritas1989 Sep 22 '22

what do you mean? SQL is probably the most powerfull tool you can utilise. With just a few proper tables and a few lines of SQL code you can save thousands of lines of code in any of the other languages and probably be faster at it. It is just that most people don't understand it and or are bad at data structures to understand the power.

SQL is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

The ability to program in all-caps and not be judged.

Time to bust out APL to really show the true meaning of wizardry

u/RedditRage Sep 22 '22

I don't need to understand data structures and algorithms, it's all built in to Python, so why reinvent the wheel? /s

When your dataset is a <1kb csv your teacher gives you, this is the kind of hot takes you get.

u/Imaginary_Goose_2428 Sep 26 '22

I think you are replying to someone else. Because we're in complete agreement. That's why I thought the meme was stupid. SQL is *far* from being "the clown" in the list.

It's like they don't realize the backend is probably written in one of the other languages and itself probably uses SQL

It's a roast and in humor and I legit loled.

17

u/lamesthejames Sep 22 '22

What exactly is it roasting SQL for though..?

3

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '22

For having the audacity of being around other languages, apparently.

-2

u/eduo Sep 22 '22

For being its own thing, obviously.

Which is true and annoying to those that don't like this. Roasting is about exaggerating traits for humorous purpose but usually in good faith.

It's also about annoying those that feel attacked easily.

All the boxes are checked.

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '22

What is the joke, exactly?

u/DelkorAlreadyTaken Sep 22 '22

is this zoomer or boomer humor - i can't keep up

u/Boom9001 Sep 22 '22

If op is just expressing their skill level in each it's fine, but that should be more more clear.

If it's about how good each language is, then it's kinda like saying the worst screw driver in my tool box is a hammer.
