The nineteen-month figure matches what I have seen, though ours skewed longer because nobody owned the analytics mirror. Owning the mirror turned out to be the whole fix.

That matches our experience exactly. The register in footnote two exists because of a mirror nobody owned.

Worth adding that on MySQL 8 the online DDL path makes the add cheap but the drop expensive, which is the opposite of what most people assume.

Pinning this thread — the register template linked in the footnotes has been asked about four times this week.

Is there a version of the template for event schemas rather than tables? Same problem, different shape.

We now require a removal plan in the migration PR template. Half the columns never get added, which I think is the real win.

The prompt

Build a comment section with Tailwind CSS. The header row shows a heading with the comment count and a small sort select for newest and oldest. Under it, a compose box: an avatar beside a bordered textarea with a placeholder, and a footer row with a muted markdown hint on the left and a dark Post button on the right that is disabled while the textarea is empty. Then four top-level comments, each with an avatar, a name with a small "Author" or "Moderator" pill where relevant, a relative timestamp, the comment body in relaxed prose, and an action row with an upvote count, a reply link and a report link. Two comments carry one indented reply each, marked by a left hairline. Close with a muted line about the code of conduct. Then add JavaScript that enables the Post button once text is entered, toggles upvote counts, and opens a small inline reply box under the comment when Reply is clicked.

Paste it into Claude, Cursor, v0 or any AI coding tool. Prefer the finished markup? .
