It's interesting how Django manages to get good mention on HN. But the fact is, there are very few job opportunities for Django developers compared to, say, Rails developers. Even on the supply side, its difficult to find Django developers for startups.
- timc3 16y agoPerhaps its because for one we could hire anyone with Python skills or secondly anyone that is proficient in computer science can usually pick up Python quickly.
- dimmuborgir 16y agoI don't think you could just hire a Python programmer who has never done web programming. And even if he has some experience in web programming, Django has its own share of learning curve to master.
- sogrady 16y agoThe data seems to agree. Django job growth is relatively stagnant: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=django%2C+rails%2C+node.js&l=&relative=1 http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=django%2C+rails%2C+node.js...
- dimmuborgir 16y agoFixed it for ya: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=django%2C+%22ruby+on+rails%22%2C+node.js&l=&relative=1 http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=django%2C+%22ruby+on+rails... Edit: Another point to note is, Indeed aggregates traditional job boards where Rails jobs are less posted. Rails job postings are usually done on Github job board, 37signals job board and many Ruby oriented job boards like toprubyjobs.com.
