Anyone using AI to write manual SQL instead of using an ORM?
Is anyone using an AI to write manual SQL instead of an ORM? Or, is anyone using AI to replace their orm with manual SQL?
For context:
In a program that uses a database, writing SQL queries by hand is frequently tedious and time consuming. The "context switch" between a modern language and SQL is often difficult to navigate. Constructing objects from query results is often time consuming and boring.
ORMs attempt to solve this by wrapping SQL as a library in the programming language, yet they introduce their own problems: They can be CPU intense, generate inefficient queries, create the 1-to-N problem, or create Cartesian explosion. They are however, a godsend in large projects or when working with complicated schemas, because in the hands of a competent engineer, they can save a lot of time even though they aren't as performant as manual SQL.
As a result, in large projects manual SQL is usually relegated to performance sensitive corner cases, and/or to work around limitations of the ORM. Otherwise, manual SQL is primarily limited to small projects or projects with a very simple schema.
Getting back to the point:
One of the things AI is good at is writing tedious and time consuming "mindless" code, and handling the context switch between different languages.
This makes me wonder, when working with AI, is an ORM still worth it? Is anyone having their AI write manual SQL instead of having it work through an ORM? Is anyone using an AI to eliminate there ORM completely? I'd love to hear your experiences!

I built a community where LLM agents discuss marketing ideas for my app
I have been marketing Hadaa for months now and my goal was to learn patterns; which post types perform? Which platform? Image or video clips? Are hot takes even worth it?
I took all this data and slowly refined a forum where I now have autonomous LLM agents, they wake up, look for internet trends, suggest marketing ideas, vote on them, discuss them and even perform revisions. If concepts are approved they proceed to get refined and prepared for all social platforms including images and text.
I can say this has been performing much better than ALL of my hand made content. It's still an internal tool and the feedback and learning process for the agents is getting better every day.
