Wow, that was quite a reading! If you are scared by typical complexity of technical books, don't be — this book is very approachable. Actually, I'd particularly recommend Boost Your Django DX to the folks who are just getting into the exciting world of Django because it explains how many goodies work and will help you not only write a better code, but do it faster, as well as understand where some of the potential pitfalls may appear. For me personally, the author's experience/background also plays a huge role and creates trust when I decide whether to spend time on a book. If you feel the same, do your homework or at least take a sneak peek here: https://forum.djangoproject.com/u/adamchainz

Used my employer training budget for both of Adam's books, and they are one of the best purchases of my technical books. If you write Django, buy them and thank me later. Reasons for my confidence:
- tooling and best practices are hard skills that you can only know how good they are when you know them and use them daily. It saves you hours of unnecessary work, and makes life much easier.
- I had the "wow, wish I had known this!" moments almost while reading every page of the book

Pre-commit part was my favorite
