History keeps repeating itself. People never seem to learn anything. At first there were no ORMs, then ORMs became extremely popular and everyone was using them, then everyone learned that ORMs were a very bad idea and we stopped using them, vowing never to make the mistake again... And here we are again in 2020, ORMs are back. They will be in for a while, then out again, then in again....

Same with statically typed vs dynamically typed. First everything was statically typed, then dynamically typed (interpreted) languages gained popularity, developers LOVED not having to wait for the compiler to finish to test their changes; this was a revolution... Now again, we're going back to statically typed languages, everyone uses clunky bundling and transpilation tools which add bloat and everyone is happy to wait 20 seconds to a minute for their code to compile.

Every few years, developers believe the opposite of what they believed before and the consensus seems to be close to 100% every time. It's ridiculous.
