Django has been an integral part of my journey as a developer from my training in music composition and technology through to building open-source web applications. Django contributor since 2020.

Outside of programming, I compose, cook, and tend to the newest and oldest ends of an ever-elongating queue of books, films, and musical compositions to enjoy--always keeping a good thought for the ones stranded in the middle.

Dynamic models without dynamic models
Jacob Walls

If your users are data modelers themselves, your underlying data model might be extremely generic. What if you still want a model-like interface shaped like those user-defined schemas? This is the story of subclassing QuerySets and REST Framework functionality to produce something a lot like dynamic Django models, only with souped-up annotations supporting creates, updates, and deletes.
