I mean anything programming related you can put on a resume for programming jobs typically looks better than nothing
But I don't know how easy it would be to get Rooks' phone number for reference calls

I thought that was Rook's direct line!
WHO HAVE I BEEN CALLING?!
Well actually maybe not
Because if Rooks gets off on *** with people he might have you never use Objects and script everything out into big files with code constantly being repeated
But that's honestly fine as long as you know why what you're doing is bad to do
Which you might not
At my last job I brought up refactoring and got laughed at because it would be a waste of time (but having to go through 20 files to change one function wasn't) and that using junction tables wouldn't be better than using comma seperated lists because they have too much data, and I'm still trying to figure that one out
But sometimes you have to listen to your boss, no matter how bad it is

I use spaces because I'm OCD and it seems to be the only thing that guarentees I get everything to have the spacing I like (usually 4 for indents), but I try to make sure I have neat spacing, indenting, and that things are on the lines I want them to be on

Yeah that scene is amazing. Especially since people do seriously act that way
Tabs wouldn't be an issue for me, but sometimes when I have SQL Server make a quick script for me to select from a table ***will be all over the place spacing wise, and the same can be said for visual studio at times, and probably other IDEs as well, and it can be irritating to hit the tab key and have it not line up with something someone else or something else wrote up

Try *** around with joins at some point, if you haven't
And try to look at various tables and documentation, like a data model, if it exists and you can access it.
You can learn a lot just *** around in a database
Just don't do any inserts or deletes
Or drops
I honestly have to say that I did become much better at SQL after having to deal with a poorly designed database
So maybe you're lucky enough to have one as well

You learn about a lot of random STUFF you probably otherwise would not have had to use if you didn't have stupid *** to work around
Oh that report you tasked me with is taking longer than you expected? I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS MANY TO MANY SET UP LIKE MANY TO ONE *** YOU PIECE OF ***, yeah you know what would make it easier and probably make it take less time? USING SOME *** JOINS
Oh why is that page so slow? You don't remember telling me to put that SQL I wrote that had to parse through comma seperated *** into a for loop that probably has 2000 *** iterations? You don't know why that might be running slow? YOU PIECE OF ***
YOU UNZIPPED ME SPATH
I FORGOT ALL ABOUT IT AND YOU UNZIPPED ME

MANY TO MANY
If you've got a many to many to wrangle then the performance boat left the dock some time ago. I have yet to see a problem where many-to-many was the correct model for the data (performance wise).

I suppose in this case it would have probably been better
I would have essentially had some ArbitraryColumnName_FK column that would contain say the following string: 12453,1920,63421,4209
All the numbers referring to different IDs, sometimes all of them were talking about IDs for things in one table, which wasm't bad to deal with after having to do it 3-4 times
Sometimes it would instead be 1253T1,4321T2,84911T3,371828T7 which was just *** annoying

just make lolserj a mod already so that we can start dumping on him

And I do personally like using many-to-many when it accurately represents the data I'm working with
But I no longer work in a small IT team in a small company, so I don't have to ever deal with designing the data base anymore
I just query it
I do kind of miss having free reign(to an extent, at least more than I do now) over database design and stuff like that though :/

After many to many of these posts when Rooks realizes LoserJ is the digital soul mate he never wanted but sorely needed...he'll then receive a parallel reference (obviously), and place him in the Moderator Table?
As we all know; if mistakes can be made, we'll be making them.

5 minutes and 10 lines of code later, they'll be spotted making spaghetti.
