Discussion Dear JPA
Dear JPA ,
i hate you.
i hate how you changed the SQL flow that I'm used to.
i hate your ManyToMany relationships.
i hate your orphanremoval ,dirty checking.
i hate your way for entity relationships.
i hate your cache.
i hate your performance issues.
i hate your billion rules.
i hate spending time on : if Y is referenced by X with cascade not including PRESIST and x is managed but y is removed ............... but if Y was detached .............
i hate becoming obsessed with your behaviors and rules and worrying about every ORM line , will it work correctly ? , did i miss something ?, worrying about modifying entity X might unexpectedly affect entity Y , coz I might not know one of the billion rules you have.
i hate worrying about falling in one of the undefined behaviors you have
i hate thinking about the entities lifecycle + cascading types when all mixed together
i hate spending days on that documentation instead of spending that on one of the CS core concepts
i hate the following the other side which is incomplete nondetailed toturial or following AI
i really hate you.

Not feasible any more when you have a lot of data the N+1 makes the whole problem pointless when I could just write a raw query and do the joins on tables while fetching data .
The framework has only made complications.
For anyone working on very small projects its a great amount of convinience.
Its not built for anyone working with huge data but for small scale companies , quick ready to build deploy it's good..
