The transformation from coding enthusiast to potential computer murderer happens FASTER than your IDE can suggest another useless autocomplete. The relationship between programmer and machine is truly the most toxic relationship in history - and yet we keep coming back for more punishment!

The eternal database holy war visualized as three dragons.

After 15 years in the industry, I've stopped correcting people. Say it however you want - the database will still ignore your perfectly crafted query and throw a syntax error anyway.
