I don't know. The idea that that person would be of slightly lower quality or just in a honeymoon phase, or even naive I think is a bit much of you have a very experienced programmer that just hasn't done Django. I just quibble with the implication of lower quality, naivete, and "promissing the world."
- nl 16y agoOk - put it like this: I've been doing web facing Java apps for over 10 years, every weekday, for at least 8 hours a day. And yet, I still learn new stuff every single day. Sometimes not little things either - things that can save hours, maybe days of work. I've met many better programmers than me. But I know my shit, and I bet I could get a Java webapp up & running quicker than someone like say Donald Knuth, simply because I've done it so many times before. I've done some Python and Django, but based on my Java experience I know someone with a couple of years experience with it would destroy me if we were racing to build an app. And from the client's point of view, it's always a race because time is money.
- dinkumthinkum 16y agoI disagree and fail to see how that answers my issue but the real killer here is that if that is sole criteria, whether the person has experience with this particular framework, why pick something so niche as Django? Is that the best decision given this mentality?
