Wow, Django must be used by many of the biggest companies around. Instagram comes to mind... Its so retarded to me that companies don't have a model for paying

  Not a fan of your word choice there. But it's worth noting Instagram has been a generous corporate sponsor of the DSF, and hired a Django committer several years ago. I just don't know of any company that currently has employees paid to work on Django, in the same way that, say, several big tech companies pay people to work on various parts of the Linux ecosystem.

    Does Eventbrite pay Andrew Godwin to work on Django? He's certainly a prolific contributor but I'm not sure if his Django work is officially sponsored by them.

    I definitely did not mean to target Instagram. We have a general problem of open source funding, and something like Django having this problem is disheartening.

  That's highly problematic word choice that doesnt further the discussion at all.

    I'm triggered by the word "problematic". It was used in similar euphemisms when my country was still communist.
