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.
- nikisweeting 8y agoDoes 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.
- devxpy 8y agoI 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.
