They don't even need to be stored procedures, just having proper queries in the code to perform the database actions would be preferable to ORM.

Another big issue I have with ORMs is that a lot of them are hostile to you writing queries in the first place. Network IO is the worst, please stop trying to force us to use your terrible overlay.

I’m going to start having a seizure if I keep reading this thread because I agree so strongly.

It is painful looking at modern software development. They don’t know the basics and the whole Agile/TDD thing I think was the start of the end because table schema (and every other kind of planning) is not really compatible with agile.
