We saw three instances of hard-coded static URLs, all of them in the same file. These hinder maintainability in a few ways. The key one is if the STORAGE_BACKEND is changed to one optimizing for speed of static file delivery then the following can happen:
Django documentation suggests not hard-coding static URLs, and instead using the {% static template tag. {% static ... returns the path the browser can use to request the file. At it's simplest, that would return a path that looks up the file on your local file system. That's fine for your local dev environment but in prod we will likely use third-party libraries such as whitenoise or django-storages to improve performance of the production web server.
