It seems that the way an ORM abstracts talking to the database is not the way he would like it to happen. So he makes his own custom abstractions that involve sending raw sql strings instead. That's better?
- scarface74 9y agoI am always concerned when I see developers think they are their problem is it's own special snowflake that they need to write something custom to handle cross cutting concerns like configuration, database access, logging, security, etc. It makes it harder to ramp people up when you aren't using a popular package (preferably open source with an agreeable license) and there is usually only that one person in the company that understand it's weird quirks instead of being able to Google for a solution to a problem.
- Finnucane 9y agoI think is why a system like SQLAlchemy in Python is nice--if you really need to build something up from lower-level parts, you can, while still staying in the framework.
