anti-ORM is not exactly a new sentiment - ORMs have been a hot & unresolved debate for two decades - but you need to be very careful about what you read on the internet, a lot of people express reasonably written opinions with an authoritative tone (like me) but are just wrong (hopefully not me haha).
