As a database guy this makes me feel good. From looking at a lot of these schemas, my job is not going to disappear anytime soon...

Most egregious example for me is probably the prevalence of a lot of "type" tables when a simple enum column would do. Or maybe the sheer number of UUIDs that are being thrown around.

I even saw a circular ID chain in one. Would be fun setting up foreign key constraints for that!
