Two posts in as many days. Things must be exciting.

This is excting. I just wrote the most awesomest Django query evah!
```
People.objects.extra(where=[
   "id in (select p.id from webapp_people p 
            where p.id in (select pp.id from webapp_people pp 
                        where pp.id in (select ppp.id from webapp_people ppp 
                                              where email like '%%.com')))"])
```
I’m trying to test statement timeout… we’ve managed to performanterize our staging environment so much that nothing was slow enough to trigger the timeout.

Fortunately it’s very easy to write unperformant SQL.
