Five Seconds Of Database Peace

Ah, corporate spin at its finest! This is the corporate PR team's playbook for turning catastrophic failures into marketing opportunities.

Welcome to the wonderful world of homoglyphs, where your WHERE clause confidently returns zero rows while you question your entire career. This is why we can't have nice things, and why every senior dev has trust issues with user input. Input validation isn't paranoia—it's pattern recognition from trauma.

When your database design meets reality in the most painful way possible. Someone actually made AGE a primary key instead of, you know, something unique like an ID.
