Writing things directly is tightly coupling code. Sometimes quite distant portions of it, i.e. database access and presentation logic. With ORM and some smarter lazy technics or in…

Never used this, but I see that it provides a context manager/decorator, which you can use to "shield" any code. And also some shortcuts for DjangoREST or something. Regarding extr…

cacheops is more of a general purpose ORM caching with automatic invalidation.

For that fetching in chunks is usually a way to go. I use something of these usually https://handy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/db.html#queryset_iter...

GraphQL makes it even more fun :)

I usually use `.values()` and `.values_list()` only when model creation is really slow. Usually many rows fetched.

Here is an example of such thing https://github.com/Suor/django-cacheops/blob/8b3a79de29b2545...

Should be easy enough to implement. You only need a context manager that adds 1 to some threadlocal flag on enter and subrracts on exit then check this flag in the monkey patch. No…

cacheops can do the same, but it never came to my mind to actually go this way. I would rather write some special code to fetch with `id__in=[...]` and then cache individually.

HN keeps automatically replacing the URL. It used to be a redirect before, but not anymore

Using framework has its cost, so you can be better of if you understand clearly what you are doing. OTOH, framework brings structure so it's less probable you skrew up your design.…

There are sure some things I haven't covered. The major one is components, which make a big deal in factor, reuse and composition. But the post started to be too long and loosing p…

I've already emailed there, won't make a difference probably anyway. I hate this HN tricky rating, one my post got dumped from top 5 cause there were too many comments! Reddit kind…
