Database normalization? Never heard of her! This is the ultimate programmer IQ distribution chart where the galaxy brains on both ends have discovered that storing JSON blobs in PostgreSQL is actually... totally fine? Meanwhile, the sweating middle-ground folks are clutching their database textbooks screaming about proper relational design and creating separate tables for each entity like their professors taught them.

Plot twist: Both extremes are right but for wildly different reasons. The low-IQ chad just wants to ship code and doesn't care about third normal form. The high-IQ monk has transcended traditional database design, understands JSONB indexing, and knows that sometimes denormalization is actually the move for performance. The middle? They're having an existential crisis about whether their CS degree was a lie.

Spoiler alert: We're ALL guilty of yeeting JSON into Postgres at 2 AM when the deadline is tomorrow. No judgment here! 🙈
