Ah, the evolution of databases in one SQL statement. This dev is basically saying "forget all those fancy PostgreSQL data types โ just give me an ID and a JSON blob and I'll figure out the rest." It's the database equivalent of saying "I don't need a fancy toolbox, just give me duct tape and WD-40."
What's hilarious is this is literally how MongoDB was born โ "schemas are too restrictive, just throw everything in a document!" Now we've come full circle with PostgreSQL's JSONB type, letting relational database purists secretly use NoSQL patterns while still feeling superior. It's like wearing a MongoDB t-shirt under your Oracle business suit.
