- bb88 6y agoYou make it sound I don't know SQL. That's kind of insulting, you know?
- jordic 6y agoMmm, sorry, if this is how you see it, what I'm trying to express it's that the dB by itself, it's the source of truth (and the state) of your application, Django it's just an implementation detail that you can swap whenever you need.
- bb88 6y agoThink about a cognizant response rather than assuming ignorance, which seems to be a common theme with HN posters.
- theamk 6y agoSometimes yes. And sometimes you have many other things to do and you want your database to just work. In this case it is perfectly fine to rely on ORM. It is like C vs Python: yes, I know C pretty well. Yes, it is significantly faster. I am still going to write the project in Python.
- mistrial9 6y agoI think the posters are talking about cooking, make sweeter, no make it more like bread.. etc.. The design objective and architectual considerations could make either of these two "right" .. however, some weight given to a repeated mention of "average web developer" .. if that is the ONLY topic, then some clarification could be skipped... (yes, learn SQL)
