Wait, people still unironically use ORMs instead of writing queries directly? Not surprising then that everything works like shit

Every startup I've worked at has at least done their first few MVPs using an ORM. I imagine because it's just a quick way to bootstrap a project. Since performance isn't really an issue before scale, sql vs ORM is just a matter of dev velocity, but I guess at scale most companies just never repaid the tech debt.
