Even though hardcoding is a bad practice, I usually forgive to junior resources (1-2 years experience) until me or somebody catch them while code review. It becomes a sin if is done by experienced programmers. Always go for generic, flexible, scalable architectures (whether it is database or programming) when ever possible. Hard coding might give you a quick output but when the requirement changes you will require three times higher time for maintaining it.
Today’s customers expect flexibility so you may not be able to say NO to changes.
Suppose you have three categories “General”, “Exotic” and “Fresh”. For a hard coding approach. You might design something like:
-----------------------------------------
| id | name | general | exotic | fresh |
-----------------------------------------
You will add one more column if you have to add one more category. Rather than editing the table schema, cant you make a fixed table like this?
------------------------- Entity-attribute-value or EAV model will be a good catch for these kinds of requirements.
| id | name | category |
