The CRUD Simplification Nightmare

The AUDACITY of non-technical people thinking they can just waltz in and demand simplified CRUD operations! Like honey, I didn't spend 5 years learning database normalization and transaction isolation levels just to send you a "D" for delete! My soul DIES a little when someone reduces my beautiful RESTful API architecture to single-letter commands. The blank stare is my spiritual response to such blasphemy - it's either that or explain why your request would make the entire system collapse faster than my will to live during a production outage at 2AM.
