It’s ridiculous the lengths people go to avoid writing sql.
Sql is awesome and gives immediate access to the full raw power of your database.
It’s worth learning whilst learning some abstraction isn’t.

SQL is ultimately a bit dysfunctional and takes a lot of getting used to. Not arguing it's worth learning but since most of my career I was not truly exposed to it, I preferred the bespoke DSL.
I'll agree using ORMs is indeed going to ridiculous lengths to avoid learning even a smidgen of SQL but there's a nice middle ground.
