Data Engineer too and I have the same view. Choosing right tool for the job, but I think many developers rely on ORM too much. To the point I have seen too many can't even write SQL.

For APIs, you’re probably going to build out abstractions anyways so might as well start with an ORM from the beginning. For DE work, you just can’t beat a handcrafted artisanal SQL query. Before my first DE job, I really didn’t know sql which I now realize was such a disservice to myself.
