Why this blog?

At a first glance this may seem like a strange blog, a blog devoted to arguing against some practice rather than for some other better practice. You can easily dismiss this entire blog with a "Haters gonna hate!" and be done with it. But I am trying to make case; the case for simplicity! And I think that today many of the so called Object Relational Mapping frameworks are the biggest threat, by a wide margin, to reliable simple code, hence this blog.

The name for this blog - "ORM, OMG!" - comes from the excellent presentation Simple Made Easy by Rich Hickey of Clojure fame. If you haven't seen that presention you should stop reading right here and go watch it!

Stay tuned for more specific rants agains the evil that is ORM.
