The irony is palpable - we'll analyze 500MB of data client-side before considering that maybe, just maybe, the database was literally designed for this exact purpose. But no, let's pull the entire table and filter it with 17 nested for-loops because we're efficient . Next week: "Why is our app so slow?" 🤔
