I think I've been staring at the database schema of a new feature for the majority of the week.

It's like deciding what to order on a delivery app, you have so many options to choose from but only few are actually good. So you finally narrow down to three restaurants and start reading their menus ... all three menus sound delicious and now you have to decide again.

You finally make a decision, again, you want that Chinese chicken with almonds. You're about to pay, everything makes sense, but ... you start thinking that maybe the chicken isn't enough and that maybe an hamburger would be the better choice.

my gf hates when I pick up the phone to order food.

data model is one of the most important decisions, and I don't know if there are universal rules that help guide that decision. always wondered about that
