Ask HN: Have you found ORMs help more than they hinder?
I’ve not seen a case when using an ORM was helpful. Often the added complexity isn’t worth it. Plain SQL is great, once you learn it and most ORMs have a query language that means you just have to learn another query language. That said these exist in droves so they must serve a purpose. I can see the case for database portability but I’ve not worked with a project that needed to shit databases. So are there other cases when an ORM pays off? 1 comments on Hacker News.
