I don’t think anyone uses alpha/beta terminology to simply mean “the hierarchy”, and I find it disingenuous that you keep arguing as such. The common interpretation is that “an alpha” is someone/thing that can take over a group by

I mean if your alternative is no-orm, inline SQL, then the “narrow subset” I’ve chosen is precisely competitive, and is highly effective, and IMO strictly an improvement. If your alternative is a different ORM, then my opinion is moot, but

I stuck to DB-First model + LINQ + SaveChanges() and largely managed to keep out the magic quite successfully for a .NET6 web project last year. Records are fantastic when composing queries. I didn't touch inheritance or any fancy mapp

Libraries are the main driver for standardization — end-logic doesn’t move between systems very often anyways, and especially with databases where you typically don’t ship SQL to random environments and hope it works (they are largely desig

I think it’s probably the opposite — the data is obviously there — you encounter vast amounts of new information every day, though most of it useless, but there clearly remains a lot of useful information; you’re just not capturing it.

Enums are also more limited than classes, yet they have purpose/place. In fact, that’s the general purpose of types — to reduce capabilities to gain access to guaranteed capabilities, which lets you reach compiler-verified logic rather

My main issue is: 1. The ORMs are really not updated to utilize these useful features, largely because they try to support all the databases, and end up supporting really just the ANSI standard set of features, with maybe a few extensions
