"Django ORM": User vs. user is confusing

[encukou]

Either case-sensitivity needs to be pointed out, or the user variable could just be renamed to e.g. me

[bmispelon]

I think it makes sense to have the variable called me.

Always when I see an example like that after Django Girls workshop, I think that it's really obvious that this is confusing. It is sooo hard to put yourself in to beginner's perspective..

Thanks @encukou! Pull Request is really welcome!

I noticed this in some workshops...students always did something like

User = User.objects.get(username="some_username")

Nice save!

I would be happy to change the user variable to a variable named me.

@alvynmcq We'd love to have your contribution too!

The file to change is https://github.com/DjangoGirls/tutorial/blob/master/django_orm/README.md. You should be able to just use Github's online editor (the "edit" icon on the top right) to create the pull request.

Thanks!
