#277: 10 tips every Django developer should know

We recently covered 10 tips that every Flask developer should know. But we left out a pretty big group in the Python web space: Django developers! And this one is for you. I invited Bob Belderbos, who's been running his SaaS business on Python and Django for several years now, to share his tips and tricks.
The 10 tips
Django Admin
ORM magic
Models
Debugging/Performance Toolbar
Extending the User model
Class based views (CBVs)
manage.py
Write your own middleware
Config variable management with python-decouple and dj-database-url
Built-in template tags and filters
