Thanks for writing this post. I agree with almost all of the statements, except 3rd one. Could you explain in more detail, why using an ORM are not recommended in big projects? In my opinion, it helps to save code clean and readable, even helps to reuse redundant code compared to raw SQL queries.
It's not for "big projects", it's for complex queries. It's hard to write complex query with query builder, and an optimized query is really sometimes 1K more rapid than 4 queries made to the ORM via its objects or a weird query built by the ORM via its query builder. You should still use your ORM on big projects, but for simple CRUD operations: Users.findById(123) is fine!
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
