I'd never come across his site or anything by his hand before, and feel like I've missed out on a lot. On the upside, I'm excited at going through all of his archives. I haven't felt inspired like this in quite a while.

Even if you have a point buried in your vitriol somewhere, making a throwaway account and delivering it in this kind of way is a new low, _especially_ since you know the guy is still in highschool.

Yes, there is an impedance mismatch in mapping data from relational data stores to object instances. This does not mean ORM's are an anti-pattern, or bad. ORM's provide a lot of value for the 90% use case that people often need to bang out
