I'm the guy maintaining the thing, and I'm complaining about ORMs not being perfect. I'm not sure I get your point.

  It means that you still fight with the tool - which is a waste of energy. Accept the tools are not perfect, get your benefits out of them (either financial or intellectual - for example by making something better) and use the remaining energy in something more constructing for your self. Quote from Tao of Programming: 'There once was a master programmer who wrote unstructured programs. A novice programmer, seeking to imitate him, also began to write unstructured programs. When the novice asked the master to evaluate his progress, the master criticized him for writing unstructured programs, saying, ``What is appropriate for the master is not appropriate for the novice. You must understand the Tao before transcending structure.'
