Honestly, normalized data can be overkill for tiny projects. If you’re just building a personal blog with 100 posts, denormalizing might actually *speed things up* since joins aren’t a bottleneck.
But for anything bigger? Yeah, normalization is clutch. Redundant data = more writes, more storage, more chances for errors.
Ever tried querying a messy DB with duplicate records? Nightmare fuel.
