I thought ORMs are trying to solve the problem of type mapping between SQL and your backend language. Admittedly, this doesn't end up being great, but it seems hard to solve this w…

Thank you, I'm happy to hear you address these models and will definitely be reading your book! I think we need a "middle path" culture that finds a good balance between these pres…
