I'm working on ripbox, a prototype cd player / ripper that than rip your CDs while you listen to them, back them up and then make them available for streaming anywhere.

My cousin has a large collection of CDs and the player is being built around his listening habits (listening to disk from start to finsh at home, individual tracks when on the go).

ORMs suck, but raw SQL embedded in your code sucks too.

This might be good time to plug my Postgres/TypeScript non-ORM: https://jawj.github.io/zapatos/.

I should say I also like what I've seen of https://kysely.dev/ and https://pgtyped.dev/.

Agreed, but tools like https://sqlc.dev, which I mention in the article, are a good trade-off that allows you to have verified, testable, SQL in your code.

I know tons of Java and Go Dev's who don't like ORMs and for a good reason. But no Django developer ever cribs about ORMs.

Ironically I started drafting this article in 2021, when I had to deal with a Django codebase littered with nested N+1 queries due to using the ORM in the most pythonic way.
