Absolutely in agreement. I am 2 years into my app dev career, all of it spent pushing .NET around in the enterprise.
But I need to expand my skill set, I need to continue working remote, and I'm interested in OSS in general. Honestly, Python and Django seem like heaven compared to the other language/framework ecosystems I investigated. Not gonna name any names there...
But the documentation for Python and Django is A++. It's just really, really good. I can't praise it enough. The whole setup is elegant, intelligent and accessible. I really appreciate that.
- wikibob 11y agoI'm in a bit of the same boat lately, deciding between updating my skills to the treadmill of JS frameworks, or Rails 5, or Django. Have you found any good leads on Django remote work?
- uptownJimmy 11y agoI did a cursory survey, and saw that remote Django jobs existed, but I didn't do any due diligence. I figured I'd learn the stack first. ;) My rough impression is that Rails remote jobs are relatively thick on the ground, but that any OSS dev stack will be better represented in remote job postings than any enterprise stack. So since I prefer Python to Ruby, and Django to Rails, I figured I'd take a leap of faith. JavaScript is simply not going to be my main dish, not for the time being. Things are just too crazy there. I don't have time to play whack-a-mole with my career skill set.
