>When I was at my startup, I hired a guy with no Django experience and minimal python. He made his first bug fix within 24 hours of showing up and was productive within a week. I had the same experience with Django walking in with the same repertoire (minimal Python, no Django) back when I lived in NYC. I don't do Django anymore, but it taught me a lot about trusting people to pick things up on the fly. Especially with the right person and environment.
