A list of things learned from doing

Use ORMs not raw SQL:

• SQL is hard to maintaining and makes messy code when constructing dynamic queries

• The key is to use a ORM

• query builders are acceptable but often a ORM is better

• This only applies to python, in rust SQLx is better

Avoid many files and folders in python:

• Python imports are messy and hard to deal with

• so just minimize files

• Folders are even worse and are the main problem with python imports

• This does not apply to rust

APIs are not easy to make in rust:

• In rust api are challenging to make

• Databases are difficult but somewhat easier

• Instead of APIs make CLIs
