I now also believe that at least Active Record is much easier to use than Django's ORM

Doesn't matter when devs just slop out 400 lines of SQL and bypass the ORM.

Frameworks and structure will save you from neither stupidity nor ignorance.

If have a different opinion on this, as I think it's 100x better to learn sql and just write it directly instead of using the dozens of leaky abstraction of some framework.
That has always been the case, why would it be different now? Easy to flag and spot in code review.
Boy, I sure wish I had the opportunity to review codebases before inheriting them for maintenance...
I get your point but this is neither a Rails, nor an AI problem and as old as time.
I mean, I've seen enough "django specialists" to end up with queries doing a dozen of join bombs and producing 10 million rows from dataset of maybe 1000 items. So pretty safe to add "ORM" to your last statement.
