Am I overriding the save method on the model in a wrong way in django?

Question

I have a Profile model that extends the user model like so,

class Profile(User):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, parent_link=True, on_dele

You are overriding the save method correctly. You need to do more when you use the createsuperuser command.

from django.utils.text import slugify
from django.contrib.auth.models import UserManager


class CustomUserManager(UserManager):
    def _create_user(self, username, email, password, **extra_fields):
        username_slug = slugify(username)
        extra_fields.setdefault('slug', username_slug)
        super()._create_user(username, email, password, **extra_fields)


class Profile(User):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, parent_link=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    slug = models.SlugField(unique=True, blank=True)

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        print('self.username')
        print(self.username)
        self.slug = slugify(self.username)
        super().save(*args, **kwargs)

    objects = CustomUserManager()
