IDEs, ORMs and other tools have their roles. They didn't get invented just because people are lazy and don't want to learn "command line" and SQL.
If you didn't have the occasion to experiences use cases where such tools are useful, that doesn't mean they aren't useful.
Otherwise you can argue that compilers are for people who are too lazy to write machine code directly.
- saurik 4y agoI can appreciate why my statement there might seem overly dismissive if you want to get particularly defensive; but I'm commenting on people, not technology, and I've met/seen quite a number of developers who rush to and relish these technologies to actively avoid learning languages, and list such as their primary reason for their use.
