My god, object-relational impedance mismatch seems to be more polarizing than US politics. I've been observing this field for more than 15 years, and it's always "JUST WRITE SQL!!!!!" versus "DRY!!! DRY!!! USE ORMs SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WRITE SQL!!!! BUSINESS LOGIC!!!" shouting matches. It's like this topic itself takes 30 IQ points away from each participant and the conversation then devolves into complete chaos.
Maybe there's some professional trauma at work, as many of us have been traumatized by shitty databases and shitty code working with them alike, ORM or not. But ORMs do come and go, promise bliss, deliver diddly, and I'm reading the same stuff I've been reading in 2008, as if nothing ever changed since.
