I absolutely hated having to deal with SQLAlchemy. It took me days to get through the ugly documentation to a level where I could more or less competently use it, and for what? The code is harder to understand than just writing SQL and the performance is worse. I have yet to learn of a single advantage of ORMs that don't boil down to developers not wanting to deal with SQL.
- strangetortoise 3y agoCurrently have to use sqlalchemy on an existing project, and while I am not necessarily disagreeing with you on ORMs or performance, just wanted to add that chatgpt has been able to reduce my time fighting with their documentation by what I estimate of 90+%. To be fair, if I would have written pure sql, I might not have needed chatgpt at all, but i also would have to learn pythons database connector calls for the umpteenth time.
