> Don't use class-based views, at least not outside very specific niches like the Django admin. Class-based views will transform a simple, composeable call stack into a ball of inheritance mud. Inheritance is not a good code reuse tool.

People always say this but well-structured CBVs keep a generic interface that you'll be really glad that exists when you have 80 views spread across 10 apps.

Composing function-based views is a PITA and when you're building an API with a bunch of auth/serialization/cache extras being bolted on it's way easier to keep disciplined and ordered. It is _trivial_ to mess up the order of callers for these things inside function-based views.
