Just to be explicitly clear to newer programmers.
This is an extremely niche view, ORMs save you a huge amount of time, and the days before ORMs were a real pain in the arse.
As a noob you are much more likely to introduce a massive security hole by rolling your own solution. Don't do it!
So this article is sorta true, and you should learn SQL, but for trivial queries ORMs are actually a massive time saver and really useful in maintaining a system, especially in strongly typed languages (Java/C#/etc.).
- commandlinefan 6y agoThe article outlines four of the (many) places where ORMs actually cost you time rather than save it.
- mattmanser 6y agoNone of which are completely true. There's a good reason ORMs are so ubiquitous. Look at his description of the things he was making. You do not use ORMs for anything but the most basic reports.
