alt Hacker NewsYou're right, that has been another "pro ORM" pitch that has gone awry and, taken to the extreme, is wrong imo.
My nuanced articulation is "you don't have to write the _boilerplate_ SQL for the 90% of just-do-some-CRUD endpoints in your enterprise SaaS application, but you 100% need to 'know SQL' for the last 5-10% of ~reporting/analytics queries that the ORM is going to mess up".

Personally I find the 90% boilerplate SQL is easy enough to write that injecting an ORM into the process doesn't make much sense
But that's just me
AKA making the easy parts easier while making the difficult parts harder.
