Public Sticky notes

Once you code to a schema from multiple applications, you can never effectively change it.  Sure, you can try, but it’ll take you 10 times longer than it should.  And since half of your apps are developed by programmers who are no longer with the company, you may not even know you needed that column until you drop it and all the sudden the payroll system crashes.  On second thought maybe you should leave it alone.
