SQL queries related questions in SO are so full of redundant LEFT JOINs.

    The reason why: People don't understand JOINs.

    E.g. INNER JOIN is the simplest form of optimization....

    I think people are stuck mantaining those horrible queries because "they were made by a senior who no longer works there".

    I like to think the "senior" was just an intern at the time, scrambling a query together until he got the desired results and just said "Fuck it, it works."
