Yeah, it can get crazy sometimes, but I think it's fun still. What would you suggest that is better?

PostgreSQL. There's actually a couple of good MySQL v. PostgreSQL threads on News.YC today; check them out.

Why is this "insane"? Or do you just mean the usage of MySQL in general, not the behavior described by the article?
