It's tabs vs spaces for SQL. Notice how I capped.

The mental gymnastics needed to understand joins 😂

It's basically just a VLOOKUP is how I explain it to my friends who might be familiar with excel but not a real database.

If you know vlookup, you should checkout xlookup. Even more similar, relatively speaking of course. No longer do I have to count my columns

I stopped doing SQL (the language/syntax) because I use ORMs now. They make the job a bit easier, especially when doing table relations.

I always remap my tab key to ctrl. Where is your god now…

Yes, WHY do I write all my SQL statements In all CAPS and why isn't there a better SQL editor, and why hasn't SQL evolved more than it has?
