Stick with Simplicity to Cross the Database Financial Gap

TL;DR: keep your data-layer simple, you’ll need the agility it offers when budgets get stretched.

Over the past 12 years of helping people run databases for their businesses, I have discovered that there are only 2 financial phases in the lifecycle of a database:

Phase 1: Absolute costs are low, thus marginal costs do not matter.
Phase 2: Absolute costs are high, thus marginal costs are all that matter.

I'm calling this difference between Phase 1 and Phase 2 the "database financial gap."

	# Suppose you want to do blind reviewing of code (eg for job interview
	# purposes). Unfortunately, the candidates' names and email addresses are
	# stored on every commit! You probably want to assess each candidate's version
	# control practices, so just `rm -rf .git` throws away too much information.
	# Here's what you can do instead.
