What I do think is true: In UK / Germany, a PhD can carry more of an apprenticeship feel with higher pay, compared to a US PhD where you are working for very little money compared to what you might make using your undergrad degree in i

Interesting to see what goes into an ORM library - but as others note, in my experience learning SQL ends up being better. The things that ORMs make easy are already pretty straightforward, and when you get to more advanced queries, the ORM
