I agree. We'd be better off with data structures and functions that work on those data structures, and packages/modules/namespaces (with public/private exposing) to do encapsulation. OOP comes with the banana-gorilla-jun

Imho, ORMs make the easy queries easier (terser) but simply do not cut it for complex queries. So you need some solution for that too. You could drop down to SQL-as-string-queries, but then you loose all type safety on the queries. We use j

So biology says tomato is a fruit. In the kitchen we consider it a vegetable. Could the same be true for the whole gender discussion? That biology gets side-stepped in the name of common sense (that does not answer questions regarding toile

Fruits and apes have a long relationship, that benefits both. Biologically fruit is ape food. Why would that be different for humans? Oh, we changed the world around us, but how fast is our genes in catching up with that?

Corn is not for humans, as it is a cultivated type of grass, like all (pseudo-)grains. Fruit, tender green leaves and bugs are our food; by the following reasons: * they existed before humans developed (not a plant cultivated by humans) * w

Most MVC frameworks have some soft or form DTO notion, as a form does not map 1-on-1 to one db record. The form DTOs in our app also holds the logic to validate itself. Basically, like sibling post mentioned: you put it where it makes sense

You start with MVC, following "the fat-model, skinny controller" rule of thumb. Now the Models become obese. So you split out the Repository logic. Now you need a place to do "client onboarding" which creates a Customer,

This! Also the original MVC (not the req-resp cycle Model2) was not for client-server split apps. It was for desktop apps, so the Model could update the view. Now with WebSockets we're coming full circle.
