“I Don’t Even Know What a Database Is”

I heard this quote from a programmer once. Seriously.

Matt Mullenweg summed it up best from Structure 09:

We live in Jeff Bezos’ Amazonian republic. Every engineer is also a DBA. If you don’t understand how the database works, you shouldn’t be programming. You shouldn’t touch a keyboard.

Word up.
