ORMs help you the first three weeks. After that it is a lead ball around both feets, dragging you down into dark pits of bad performance, incomprehensible relations, and impossible debugging.
That anyone with more than 6 months of experience still drag Hibernate up from their chest is just absolutely beyond my comprehension.
- marginalia_nu 3y agoI think if you're doing basic CRUD operations on small tables with relatively simple relations, then ORM is just fine. This is to be blunt what a lot of applications do, and so a lot of them justifiably use ORM. That said, the moment you leave the small table simple relations space (by e.g. having a table with a quarter billion rows), then ORM is not a good choice.
