Yes, absolutely this for the content-side. Especially in the tech world, it would make sense for r/php to be hosted and run by the offical php.net guys, r/laravel by the laravel.com crew, r/vuejs by ... (you get it). However

That'd be tedious and error-prone if had schemas with maybe dozens of tables. Now you've also got dozens of views to manage and keep in sync with the underlying tables. I work with both MySQL and PgSQL, and not being able to reord

Ah! I had that game as a kid, loved it! The actual paddle buttons on the side made it much better than a 2600 for that type of game. Don't remember what happened to it - maybe it died and that's why we got a 2600.
