I don't understand the question. If the model built both apps why wouldn't it also be building the new features on both platforms at the same time? Alternatively, point the model at your git repo for platform A, read the diffs sin

You're framing it as lucky timing but if Microsoft had tried to ship a smartphone in 2006 with the same available technology it still would have flopped.

It's worth nothing that all of the studies you linked were performed only on children. It is entirely plausible that DXM is effective in adults but not children because of the difference in dosage or measurement (studies on children of

Even if you replace ORM generated queries with hand generated queries or LLM generated queries you're still missing a huge chunk of functionality provided by an ORM. For my projects I would say that the majority of the value an ORM del

I mean there are plenty of projects that don't fit this description, where the database is just a persistence layer for your objects and the database should be subservient to application code.

Your comment comes across like saying "why would I use an impact driver when my screwdriver does everything I need?" If you don't actually need those features then obviously an ORM will offer less value to you. That doesn&#x2

Which ORMs are you basing this comment on exactly? (1) and (3) are not really problems with an ORM that gets out of your way and lets you drop down to raw SQL when necessary, but still helps you hydrate result rows back to objects (and stil

People have been making these same arguments for decades and at this point I'm convinced they are all based on the same strawman: That ORM's absolve you from having to learn SQL. Once you understand that was never actually true to

Not necessarily. For starters, small companies are paying 15%, not 30%. I'm also not sure where a small company can find a payment processor that will only charge 1%. Stripe charges 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction. If you have a $4.
