Oof that hits close to home.

My lack of experience in SQL means I'll desperately try to make PhpMyAdmin work on my dev environment or on my web server, because the muscle memory is still there to do everything, but when I do MSSQL or PLSQL I end up spending more time googling and searching stackoverflow than writing SQL requests.

This is also why Entity Framework and similar ORMs are a blessing. But that also means I can't work in big enterprises because they always end up doing more SQL than actual development.

Data is important, I get it, but presentation of said data is equally as important !
