@b0rk the Django ORM is definitely a productivity hack when it comes to building sites with it. It’s not perfect when you need more complex queries, like when you have M2M relationships, it needs some attention and care. Most is very well documented - so read it! 😛
Oh, same with the admin. If you use django-debug-toolbar, which shows a lot of performance and db-related metrics, you’ll see a bunch of inefficiencies around, like issuing two counts (top and bottom of the table) on the same table. I guess you could rewrite the admin templates if whatever you’re doing is Django admin intensive 🙂
@b0rk thanks! Reassuring content 👌
@gregporterfield Thanks Greg, awesome stuff!

@gregporterfield thanks for your insights. I’ve read cool things about CRTO and it’s on my list too, just not sure if 2023 list 😅 I’ve found some courses online called something like advanced programming topics in Python that seems to be okay-ish.

Your suggestion to build a C2 is a really good one. Might think of something similar to do. If you already have some good ones bookmarked I’d appreciate it.

@gregporterfield that’s a reasonable perspective, thanks. Things like cyber sec advanced certificate alternatives (because everybody discusses beginner certificates), advanced programming topics (Python’s generators, async/multi-threaded programming etc) and alike. There are some posts and talks here and there for advanced offsec techniques, which is something
There’s so many beginner-level aimed content. What about intermediate or expert levels? 😶
@nova This reminded me of something important for those managing their own instance. What happens when you run out of space? Delete older things? Or buy more storage? To what point is that feasible for a single person to manage?
