I hate ORMs with the fury of a thousand suns.

The problem is that I know SQL but now I have to spend a bunch of time trying to figure out how to convert SQL into ORM X just so it can convert it back to inefficient SQL. SQL mostly translates between various databases but ORMs are unique and you have to learn a new API for each one.

I'm on a project using TypeORM and it has been fantastic at helping developers on my team make really bad schemas due to not understanding how to use TypeORM to make the right relationships.

Currently I'm looking at pg-types because you just write SQL and it just helps by making some TypeScript types for you.

(I have used ORMs in C#, PHP, and JavaScript and I hate all of them).
