As a history lover, I'm sorry. I can't let this pass. There is absolutely no way that a framework that translates programming classes and properties in one language into SQL queries, compares with the amount of human suffering that war encapsulated.

It's not funny. It's not edgy. Any valid points that this guy raises about ORMs is drowned out by the abject triviality of the subject, in comparison to an actual armed conflict. This analogy sucks. Truly.

Flagged as tasteless.
