This is not remotely true of analysts and data engineers, who probably write most of the world's SQL.

Have you seen the queries an ORM generates? Pretty sure they have data engineers beat in query volume, and there's more web developers using ORMs than data engineers.

But of the SQL queries written by people, those who write SQL queries write most of the world's SQL queries.

I think pulisse meant "compared to SQL queries written by proxy (e.g. jooq, linq, ORMs, etc.)

I'm not sure it's true.
