Yup. I haven’t touched .NET in forever … like it’s been 7 years or so but I was there for the 1.0 days. I remember running stuff to code gen db tables to objects and NHibernate and Entity Framework and all that jazz. I was just like, “wait, why am I writing all of this if it’s just a project”. Then the Active Record pattern felt limiting when scaling my application. I think after we discovered Dapper and we just stuck with that. It’s a micro-ORM where we write SQL and it maps into C# objects and it just simplified when hydration happens and how. (not sure how much its changed or if it’s even active now, but it was amazing)
