⚠️ Pitfalls

  • Mutating methods return None in Python — do not chain sort() / reverse() expecting a new list.
  • Default JS sort() compares strings — pass (a,b) => a-b for numbers.
  • SQL function names differ by dialect — verify Postgres vs MySQL docs.
  • Django QuerySet.update() skips save() signals and auto auto_now fields on models.
