PostgreSQL database design flaw allows inconsistent derived content

A developer discusses a database design flaw in a PostgreSQL implementation where the `ttsFriendlyContent` field is stored independently instead of being derived from the `content` field. This separation allows for inconsistencies, as the `ttsFriendlyContent` should semantically be a direct transformation of `content`. The current application code attempts to manage this invariant, but the database schema itself does not enforce the relationship, leading to potential errors and difficulties in maintaining data integrity.
