I think the person you're replying to is arguing for using some sort of database migration library without using an ORM library. It's the same position I came to recently.

Yes but they seem to have switched because they didn’t like ORM-generated migration code. I think that’s a bad reason to switch because it wasn’t an important part of ORMs in the first place. Basically, I want to know why they were even using ORMs before.

I don’t want to go without an ORM because I’ll end up making one ad-hoc anyway. I’m not going to do work on raw tuples in my application code.
