(Also I hate web development 😛 )Ah, yeah... we need to you move that smiley face one pixel to the right and change the color on the tongue to be a little less red without making it pink. Also, there needs to be a tiny hint of blush on the cheeks and so that bald people take no offense, please add hair to it. We also need you to interweave it in the 7 Red Lines (1 blue, 2 green, and 4 pink) that we asked you to draw last week. We also need you to put it all into 16 pixels and still be discernible. Thank you for your time.

Indeed, DBA's tend to make singularly bad web developers 🙂 After years of staring at black and white column sets it's easy to think anyone who wants any formating done on their data is spoiled and whiny.
Heh... not quite where I was going with all of this. I was a front-end Developer for about 4 years and so my intent was to identify my empathy for any kind of front-end developer that must tolerate the whims of arm-chair designers. I still remember exactly what it was that drove me out of the front-end world. The new boss told me to create a "Warning" field and a "Danger" field (no relation to the great Rodney). Then I was given a color specification for each essentially putting White letters on a Pale Yellow background for the warning and a byte specified particular color of Pink lettering on a Fushia background. I tried to talk my boss out of it but she insisted. I told her that I'd do that right away and that I'd never touch front end code ever again after doing it. And, I haven't.
The following movie reminds me of my front-end days and some of the databases that I've seen others build or have been asked to build.
