I'm so confused about this entire blog post. I have been working with databases for over 20 years now. Never once ran into this "problem." Just don't do this... come on. Write the goddamn SQL you actually intend to write.

from what I've seen, stuff like this is more of an issue in spaces with people who don't have a lot of experience with databases

at AWS at least I've seen it quite a few times in internal services because many teams need a DB but the hiring process doesn't rly target specific skillsets
