Some more things about Django I've been enjoying

This article explores a developer's journey learning to build websites in a 2010-style approach using Django with SQL databases and backend-rendered HTML. The author discusses why they moved from frontend-heavy tools like static site generators and Vue.js to a backend-focused approach, highlighting Django's query builders for readable SQL-like filtering and template filters for quality-of-life improvements. They also mention challenges and comparisons with Go and Flask, making it a practical reflection on Django's strengths for modern backend development.
