Turns out one of my favorite websites, tay.today/ has been suspended by the hoster, probably because the bill hasn't been paid...
I've managed to recover all of the data thanks to archive.org <3 but now I need to find a cool domain name to host it on :/




Thoughts on SQLAlchemy

Originally posted on mastodon.technology.

I've recently been using SQLAlchemy's ORM for a Python web app I'm developing. I really like the idea of declaring tables using a class, which provides you with an object class too.

For querying, I'm still a bit undecided. I like .filter_by(), .first(), and .all(), but I'm worried that losing visibility into the direct SQL queries being used makes it easier to forget about indexes. Then again, this project is small enough that I expect to not even need indexes.
