Plenty. Just this week, I spent the better part of a day trying to figure out why customers were losing data. Turns out it was a bad ActiveRecord polymorphic definition that was written over 4 years ago, but which only started surfacing recently due to overlapping ids in the relevant tables. When I looked at the generated SQL, the bug was obvious. But looking only at the ActiveRecord definitions, the bug was nonobvious. Give me plain SQL all day everyday. I’m tired of ORMs.
