I like to say that when you try to make a "schemaless" database, you've just made 1000 different schemas instead.

Yeah, "Schemaless" is a total misnomer. You either have "schema-on-write" or "schema-on-read".

Schemaless means there’s no assurance that the stored data matches any consistent schema. You may try to apply a schema on read, but you don’t know if the data being read will match it.

"schema in code" covers all bases.
