Edit: “Don’t use an ORM” should be point 1

[ars]

The opposite. Point 1 should be don't use an ORM unless you don't know SQL. But you should know SQL so don't use an ORM.

An ORM only works until the point where you need to join tables. As soon as that's needed the ORM just causes you endless trouble.

Edited, i meant don’t use one.
