The Rise of the Micro-ORM with Sam Saffron and Rob Conery

Summary

This episode of Hansel Minutes discusses micro ORMs, contrasting them with full-featured Object-Relational Mappers like Entity Framework. The conversation, featuring Scott Hanselman, Sam Saffron, and Rob Connory, explores the concept of micro ORMs as lean solutions that do less work efficiently, like Rob's "Massive" project. The practical takeaway is that for developers needing fine-grained control and performance, a micro ORM's focused approach can offer advantages over complex abstractions.
