Joyful Django DX with PyCharm
summary
PyCharm demos real, concrete DX: IDE-created virtualenvs and Django run configs, template and template-debugger breakpoints that show template context, SQL browsing of the bundled sqlite DB, HTTP files that replace Postman, React + Tailwind editing with Prettier integration, and pytest-backed test-first development that runs without a live server. The debugger works in templates, imports and magic-string completion update code, and a Black plugin and always be debugging workflow actually speed iteration; expect true tooling wins, not platitudes, like HTTP files for repeatable API calls.
