I know both and ORMs are fine. They save a lot of time at the cost of some inefficiency. However some of the newer ones are like Entity Framework Core for dotnet are significantly smarter than older models.

Is that time saved initially but paid later as tech debt? Or time saved on the long run?

  • often the debt is fine and doesn't need to be paid back. Its only tech debt when its a hotspot. For example all the ORM code that handles admin functions that the vast majority of the user base don't use.
