Admittedly I'm not sure if it works for Japanese, but English has online tools you can use to print out a sheet to write out every character and scan to turn into a font file. Would be surprising if it didn't exist for Japanese.

So ultimately you probably just need someone with neat handwriting.

    Except it's not seamless, and never has been. ORMs of all kinds routinely end up with N+1 queries littered all over the place, and developers using ORMs do not understand the queries being performed nor what the optimal indexing strategy is. And even if they did know what the performance issue is, they can't even fix it!

    Beyond that, because of the fundamental mismatch between the relational model and the data model of application programming languages, you necessarily induce a lot of unneeded complexity with the ORM trying to overcome this impedance mismatch.

    A much better way is to simply write SQL queries (sanitizing inputs, ofc), and for each query you write, deserialize the result into whatever data type you want to use in the programming language. It is not difficult, and greatly reduces complexity by allowing you to write queries suited to the task at hand. But developers seemingly want to do everything in their power to avoid properly learning SQL, resulting in a huge mess as the abstractions of the ORM inevitably fall apart.

    The encryption thing is definitely weird/crazy and storing the SQL in XML is kinda janky, but sending SQL to a DB server is literally how all SQL implementations work (well, except for sqlite, heh).

    ORMs are straight trash and shouldn't be used. Developers should write SQL or something equivalent and learn how to properly use databases. eDSLs in a programming language are fine as long as you still have complete control over the queries and all queries are expressable. ORMs are how you get shit performance and developers who don't have the first clue how databases work (because of leaky/bad abstractions trying to pretend like databases don't require a fundamentally different way of thinking from application programming).

    I think the point is not that it's a MacBook, but that the senior is using a single laptop instead of a full multi-monitor setup.

    Personally as a senior, I use 4 monitors. My eyes are too shit to stare at a tiny laptop screen all day, and I want slack/browser/terminal windows on their own screens. It's much more comfortable as well.

    Nope. Yelling isn't okay. Parents are human and may do it anyway, but it's always a mistake and should be treated as such (except in the case of danger as mentioned above). It absolutely should be avoided as much as possible. It's an incredibly harmful thing to do (for any relationship, actually).
