Article's premise: - software development practices are invariable to company size and stage

Reality: - team size dominates methodology and user base size dominates architectural decisions

In my experience most apps designed around relational databases will benefit from: - one-to-many and many-to-many mappings - soft delete - log tables / append-only tables - entity-attribute-value - meta columns (creator_id, timestamp, version, etc)

Beginning with them is way easier than patching afterwards

For the "play chess" example a state machine is the perfect place to begin modeling. Games, as a rule, are event-driven and are commonly coupled to a event-loop that triggers the transitions of the state machine. I think top-down decomposition has it's place, but the examples used to describe it should be given a little more thought.

When I navigate back to HN after reading the article, I get a page 'more stories before you go'. At least the first time I opened the link.

How is 538 able to intercept my navigation away from their page?

Pointing out that the solution is not perfect is fine. It helps future maintainers, even if self. The worst offenders don't even realize the badness of their implementations, intriguing further adventurers of their code's true intentions.

My unpopular opinion is that you only forget what you have not learned and that you only learn what you do. The vast majority studies only to pass exams. So your situation is pretty normal.

This should be a crime, like selling spoiled food.

TFA is nonsense. Hard deletes should almost never be used, period. The application credentials should not even have permission to issue delete statements, thus reducing potential damage from bad actors. Things like ON CASCADE DELETE should not even exist. Anyone using them must stop and rethink their life decisions.

Truth is, our lizard brains are always forgetting the good stuff that happened but remembering every detail of some random shameful event nobody, except you, cares about.
