I tried the strict 3NF approach in the past. There weren't performance problems, but there was query ergonomics problems. Combined with "no ORM", the query layer was a labyrinthian minefield.

And are you hiring? Does your situation represent the bulk of available opportunities for developers looking for work? I think it's not, which is why these frameworks don't gain traction relative to javascript, which is portable t
