I'm Irish, there still exists a lot of pride for potatoes here. I have a small allotment here as part of a communal garden and each spring there is probably more excitement about the potatoes crops than any other. People want to know what types you are planting, how early to put them down, tips for managing damage from a late frost etc. Not to mention it really is a productive crop and really can last all winter when stored correctly and you can be self sufficient for "spuds" from a relatively small sized plot.

Run the application locally in a terminal and just use pdb normally. To do it to an application running in a container is slightly more involved but still possible.

Off topic but why would a corporate company use a website for their blog which puts articles behind a paywall? It seems completely at odds with the purpose of a corporate blog.

Probably not the answer you want to hear but the best office chair is no chair. I only have a standing desk at home and my back/legs are so much better after 3 weeks of WFH than they have ever been.

I've done this, although in my cold climate it took months to throw out a root. Give it time.

I'm not sure about django but flasks Application object has a before_first_request method which takes a function designed to do this type of initialization operations.
