It is nice that you are still working on improvements. Systems are going to be more complex, so any optimization will be helpful.

I am grateful for the help to my country. We will never forget this.

You can most certainly change your ORM and a repository will be useful for that. I don't know what Shay is talking about at 1:50:20.

I don't do repositories because changing the ORM is a risk that doesn't justify the cost of a repository for most project but if you really want to own the abstraction and be able to change the ORM or drop the ORM and write raw SQL then repository is a way to do it.
