Surviving Django, if you care about databases

Re:Surviving Django, if you care about databases by bastawhiz on Thursday August 06, 2020 @11:06PM (#24077622)

I came here to post essentially this exact comment. Give me Django with only routing, middleware, the admin panel, and the ORM and I'd be happy. The time I've saved because of these things so I'm shipping code and not writing SQL by hand is astounding. I've made the decision to use Python and Django over other languages and frameworks solely because of the ORM.

I honestly can't think of a single other piece of software that has actively saved me as much time.

Very much this. I tend to lean towards Flask for building simple APIs. I think it's easier and faster to start a project and get something done.

But I always end up missing the admin features and the far superior ORM, and always regret midway that I did not use Django instead.
