What I mean is, you still have to have a "main" app. Why? I don't want to reuse it. So I don't want an "app". I just want to build my website. Stop making me put things in an unnecessarily complicated directory hierarchy. If it were Java, I wouldn't think twice about it, but it doesn't seem Pythonic.

Good question! Probably... illusory inferiority AKA imposter syndrome. I assumed Django knows best, but maybe it doesn't.
- bmelton 9y agoSure. One of the Djangoesque opinions is that if you're building a site, you'd like it to be maintainable, and that you'll probably add on to it. If you've been working in the Python ecosystem long enough to know that you're building a site that doesn't have those assumptions, you'll probably pick something different to start out with, like Flask or Bottle.
- marcosdumay 9y ago> you still have to have a "main" app Well, it has to be organized some way. It happens to have the organization that gives you more flexibility, instead of forcing something that only fits very small sites onto you. That means you'll have an extra directory on your tree. Anyway, nobody uses only the main app. The article creates a big amount of problems by trying to only write on it, but I bet that even them use the Django's builtin apps. > AKA imposter syndrome Oh. Dunning-Kruger study detected that one too. It's within the effect: people tend to self evaluate into a small band near (but often under) the top, whatever their real evaluation is.
