New article: "Django at 20: a personal journey through 16 years"
#Django turned 20 a few days ago, which is a remarkable milestone for any software project. I’ve been along for most of that ride, starting my Django journey in September 2009. That’s almost 16 years ago! It’s been fascinating to watch both Django and my use of it evolve over time.
And happy 20th birthday to #Django !
Django was the first Python framework I've learnt, thanks to learning it on my own I got my first Python job, and here five years later I still work using it daily
I am currently looking for a #job . I am an experienced (senior) software developer/engineer with 7y of experience. If someone is looking for a capable software engineer or knows someone looking for engineers, please let me know.
I do #python #scheme #django #docker and aim for reproducible software. I learned some #devops and #ansible and can manage servers. Used to do #fullstack dev work, before everything needed to be an SPA.
I am looking for #remote work or work in #berlin or #potsdam .

This morning we celebrated Django's 20th birthday at EuroPython 2025. 🥳
We had a birthday cake and took some photos to immortalize the event. 🎂

At #EuroPython lots of people are asking how many projects are built with @django. The answer is about 500k to 1M. And yet we only raise $250k per year to support the project, yep, sustainability in open source is hard ☺️
If you have personally used a django-like web framework in Go, and especially if you've migrated an existing database-based django app that way, I would really appreciate hearing about your experience.
For context, I have ~5k lines of python and ~5k lines of templates in an existing app. I like django quite a bit, but continue to be only "eh" on python. The app is in Python 2 (yes, still, I know) and if I have to do the conversion, I'd like to know if there's a better option.
