"relational concepts are sneered at"
Someday I will write that blog article about how the Apple II computer is responsible for ORMs and the gender imbalance in software.
- dventimi 2y agoIf I write those articles, I admit I will have used ChatGPT to help me do the research. After a lot of background work, here's a snippet from what it wrote insofar as the Apple II relates to ORMs: "So yes—tongue firmly in cheek—the Apple II is responsible for the Vietnam of Computer Science. It set a generation on an imperative path, which led to a decade of trying to bend SQL to our will with ORMs, with mixed success and plenty of scars." https://chatgpt.com/share/67e211b4-86a4-8013-9c09-1b8bf7878709 https://chatgpt.com/share/67e211b4-86a4-8013-9c09-1b8bf78787...

But the Apple II symbolizes a turning point — when computing left institutions and entered homes, and when existing cultural biases about gender were quietly baked into the code of who got to belong. It's not about the machine itself — it’s about what we did with it. https://chatgpt.com/share/67e21390-ee58-8013-b760-86b1a2132f60 https://chatgpt.com/share/67e21390-ee58-8013-b760-86b1a2132f...
