fuck ORMs. Here's the thing, the DB queries will make up less than 0.1% of your typical codebase. Spend a week and write a good fucking query instead of relying on your bullshit magic blackbox to do it for you. Even a shitty query is going to perform better than the 100s or (literally!!) 1000s of lines of ORM code which need to happen to generate your "select * from users" query. seriously. grow up. learn the amount of SQL you need to and napalm any ORM that comes within arm's reach. and if you're not sure about the SQL you've come up with then just go a few cubicles down and ask your DBA what they think. Chances are they'll write something 1000x better than you came up with an you'll have learned something along the way. win-win.
