DBs in general have a lot of unavoidable complexity swept under the rug. Like, I don't think most people realize Postgres and MySQL don't do full ACID transactions by default. But it's even worse how special DBs made for huge shardable data like Mongo market themselves as beginner-friendly.

Also the SQL timestamp vs timestamptz thing is just silly and avoidable. I want to know who I complain to for that.
