Select All... And Watch Your DBA Cry

Oh. My. God. The DRAMA between DBAs and developers is sending me! 💀 Developer: "I'll just grab EVERYTHING with SELECT * and sort it out later!" DBA: *literally PUSHING the developer toward a cliff* "SPECIFIC COLUMNS ONLY YOU MONSTER!!!" And this, children, is why your database queries take 8 years to run. The SELECT * wildcard is basically asking the database to hand over its entire life story when all you needed was its name and phone number. Performance? Never heard of her!

Oh the eternal dilemma of choosing between wildcard imports (*) and logical operators (&) ! That moment when you're coding and have to decide between importing everything under the sun or writing proper boolean logic... and either choice makes you sweat bullets. The wildcard import will make your IDE cry while the logical AND will make your code reviewer question your life choices. It's like choosing between technical debt now or technical debt later. Truly the Sophie's Choice of programming!
