Nothing I said is a critique of Ben Awad, the Twitter OP. I assume we've all used dependencies that we don't completely understand, no?

To rephrase my point: The dark side of semi-opaque dependencies like ORMs, application frameworks, etc. is that when the magic doesn't work, one may not be able to easily determine where to start in order to address issues.
