The ‘somehow’ is usually a half-baked migration tool

Maybe don’t use a half baked ORM.

I’m experiencing schadenfreude that someone is having ORM problems in 2019 long after the NoSQL hype died.

I can remember on zero hands the number of times my not half baked ORM was the source of my problems such that I wanted to say “fuck it lets just write SQL”. ORM patterns are pretty well laid. Hell they haven’t changed much in at least a decade or more and they work great for the problem they solve. Which makes me think maybe a relational store is not right for whatever you’re using it for.

tl;dr If you have ORM problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but SQL ain’t one.
