Meh. My feeling is that Django and other web frameworks are too magical -- I always worry they might be doing something inefficient. That's why I write all my web applications in hand-tuned assembly. It even has reusable abstractions for when I need them, and nice hand-formatted assembly is super readable!

You're seriously comparing SQL to assembly? There's a point where it doesn't make sense to add another layer, another dependency, etc.

In both the "never use an ORM" and "always use assembly" cases, the argument is based entirely on having full control of what's going on and not trusting any intermediate layer to get it right or eke out every last femtosecond worth of performance.
So it's a perfectly fair comparison.
