Please, if you want to persuade me, do it yourself. If you don’t believe in it enough to go through the effort to write the article, and instead ask an LLM to do it, it’s not going to convince me.

Some of us have been working with php for 22 years at this point and frankly I think Doctrine is the best ORM period.

What makes it so good? Genuinely curious

It uses a DTO style mapping system and central factory EntityManager making unit testing a breeze. Model definitions let you map database primitives directly from the models. It will automagically build you the table on first use and it's capable of moving data from one engine to another engine on the fly. Migrations are built in and it's capable of generating migrations directly from changes to a model. It's smart about SQL multi saves (transactions), joins for relationships, views, and a bunch of other database features that most ORMs don't even bother to be even aware of let alone implement. It's basically an enterprise level ORM. Functionally it works like ActiveRecord but under the hood it's very different.

Have you used Django's ORM?

		The first time I heard the name Django was like 15 years ago in college so I'm sure I've used it by hosting some project for one reason or another over the years. Python is just not my go to. Also I maintain my own framework in PHP entirely so that's what I pull off the shelf when I wanna do CRUD.

I wish AI slop blogs would get banned with extreme prejudice. I guess there's a YC company that makes AI slop blogs, so it won't happen?

I'm not so sure that it's full AI. Might have used it to clean up, but she does seem to want us to believe that it isn't.

That LinkedIn overview is also written by AI

LinkedIn, that platform where everyone wrote AI slop by hand before there was AI?

		Possibly. She’s very much a self-marketer. I just figured that it was a good idea to link to the person. I have found it useful to see the people behind the words, before accusing them of being bots. But that does beg the question of what, exactly, is “AI slop”? If someone uses it like they would use an editor, to clean up their own prose, does that mean it’s “slop”? Editors have been placing a “corporate stamp” on words for hundreds of years. You always know when an article was placed in The New Yorker, or Harper’s Bazar, because the editor would make sure that the prose matched their style. We’re really just at the beginning of this journey. BTW: I’m not saying it wasn’t fully-generated AI prose, but I’m uncomfortable with “knee-jerk” accusations. I have seen some examples of misfires, when it comes to that.
