Discussion on: You Can Do it in SQL, Stop Writing Extra Code for it

I find the unwillingness to properly leverage the power of the database very confusing. It's like having a firetruck with big, powerful hoses that you drive up to the fire and then use those hoses to fill little individual buckets that you carry over to throw on the fire one at a time :(

I have constant conversations with (mostly) younger devs who seem unwilling to learn some database design theory and some SQL that could save them huge amounts of messing about with ORMs.
