Pretty decent introduction. Will there be additional parts that cover how to create GROUP BY queries in the ORM? I find even seasoned Django developers struggle with these.

Also, I believe your code for creating an empty "data" migration is missing the "makemigration" command itself.

The last time I needed to do that, I ended up crying "uncle" and writing manual SQL. I wasn't happy about doing it, but I was happy that the framework left me an escape hatch so that I could.

It's actually easy once you get it, it's just that they choose bizarre terminology that doesn't translate directly from sql. .values() and .annotate() ?!

Good topic for a second blog post/skill share. Are there any other interesting topics you can think of? I think I know so much but in it too deep to remember what is unusual. These came up with the recent onboarding of some new devs.

Thanks, I will update the data migration code!
