A lot of devs don't understand this, but can save a lot of time, especially when the code is all python. Especially if you questions are off the beaten track

- pbalau 5y agoDjango has one of the best source code base I ever saw, in 20+ years of doing software. If anyone has issues reading the Django source code, they probably should stay away from software development.

Please don't gatekeep. Second, you're wrong. The Django codebase is overall good quality but if it's "one of the best you ever saw in 20 years" you haven't dug deep. Django has a lot of horrible no good bad awful parts to it. To their credit they tend to improve with age, not get worse, but it's certainly not worthy of such praise imo.

- scrollaway 5y agoDid you check your desk? Get a second pair of eyes, it's always in front of you and you don't realize it. If you're going to state opinions as facts, you can't then come back and tell people "oh so you know my own opinions better than me?!".

- dc-programmer 5y agoI halfway agree. However in a multi-framework system I don’t have to time to learn the project structure of all my dependencies for quick lookup. Maybe if the Django docs linked to the underlying source code that would be a good compromise?
