People who don't want to learn SQL tend to write CRUD API and rely on code-first ORMs to manage the database.
When you instead use PostgREST, or Hasura, you're usually going to write a ton of SQL - tables instead of classes, views and stored procedures instead of interfaces, row-level security rules instead of authorization code.
A “ton” is very relative. Those tables still have to be written even with ORM. And as for views/rls/triggers the total LOC i would say is orders of magnitude smaller then in traditional stacks and a lot more readable (it’s static definitions vs imperative code)
