About this listen
It's easy to overcomplicate data modeling, especially when enums, relationships, and future requirements are in play.
In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, Joel brings Aaron a real-world technical dilemma: how to model a relationship between two models when types are stored as enums, not models.
We discuss the pros and cons of pivot tables versus JSON columns, the importance of context before jumping to solutions, and how developer instincts can sometimes get in the way of clarity.
