   Great news everyone! I saw code so terrible yesterday that I quit my job on the spot, for realsies. Enjoy what should be the last post about me gazing directly into corporate-hell:

   Future posts will be about the dystopian hellscape that I conjure into being at my own business.

     @jacques Including anything in the design that isn't useful in pure information theory is wasteful. The whole database should be one long string with carefully chosen delimeters if you aren't a coward.
