in thread When to use ORMs, Catalyst, etc

A very good response, and it did in fact open my eyes that little bit more. :o)

Although I do keep thinking that if I walked into a job I'd wanna be hands on with what it's all doing behind the scenes, maybe it's the geek in me.

I'd also want others coming in to the production team in a few years time to have that same exposure. Not just doing a bit of code in the middle that doesn't expose them to the raw elements.

At this rate we'd all end up as VB developers simply doing a bit of point-and-click to earn a wage.
