This is so much me. I used to be an SQL junkie back in my 20s but the work I did was critical. As in if my query was wrong even due to some weird software quirk/edge case/bug, that could mean a few million dollars or even into the billions. That type of pressure leads you to write SQL (or code in general) in a very specific way.

OTOH, if I wrote my SQLs in that fashion during data science interviews, these young “scientists” will tell me I am a novice.
