This one trips up every podcast host and blogger. It is not a global object, it just pretends to be with some wrapper magic. Like an attribute method it is not a simple variable.
Which is even more magic... I don't get why the request and context isn't just passed as parameters. Explicit is better than implicit!
Only if you want DRY to mean "Do repeat yourself".

Love Flask in theory. My biggest complaint was trying to do user management with it. Flask-Security was good, but the developer skipped town a few years ago.

Decorators improve dev speed. No need to be constantly switching back and forth between views and urls.py. Still, sometimes nice to see all in one place.
They only improve speed from an initial "get it working" point of view. That's part of the reason flask is rarely taken seriously as a production solution. Not having natural separation between views and urls is a real PITA for anyone trying to create a long term solution or larger project. For what it's worth, I also hate the argument that bad design increases Dev speed. That's only true until you need find somethin…

FYI your home page refers to "DadJokeJunkie.com promises not to spam you or share your number and you can opt out at any time." but that is not your site :P

In my experience, Django is less suitable for large projects than Flask. The nature of Django encourages tight coupling between unrelated parts of the system - Models intertwine database operations and business logic, ModelViews intertwine db operations, business logic and the interface layer. This is manageable in the small, but when you hit scale, this tight coupling adds a whole bunch of unnecessary complexity to…
Django is great for building Django apps. That is, if you're starting a greenfield project and don't have to integration with an existing database schema, and you like the Django ORM, and you like Django templates, and your data model maps cleanly onto a relational DB, and you can use the admin site more or less as-is without having to customize much, then it's lovely! I'm not being sarcastic: it really is. We've suc…
