The Naming Convention Crisis

Staring at two buttons labeled "userId" and "user_id" is like choosing between two identical bombs where only one won't explode your database. The cold sweat begins as you realize you've been inconsistent with naming conventions across your entire codebase for the last 5 years, and now you need to join these tables. Nothing like the sheer panic of wondering if you used camelCase or snake_case in that legacy module nobody's touched since 2018. Pro tip: standardize your naming conventions before you have 300,000 lines of technical debt and a drinking problem.
