Query Shaming

The act of characterizing someone's SQL queries as inefficient.

Our database administrator (DBA) while reporting on why our server was slow proceeded to engage in some query shaming Ted's queries.
In today's staff meeting our DBA spoke directely to Ted in order to query shame him about some of the queries he had written.

Paving the goat path

Taking an existing process and trying to improve upon or retrofit it with a something new. Especially relevant when the existing process is not the best solution and starting from scratch without any constraints would be better.

I would like to rewrite the application using an updated framework and workflow instead of simply paving the goat path.
