I definitely agree with most points the author makes. One quote that comes to mine, "The best programmers understand completely what they are doing". I paraphrased. It becomes a whole other issue as well when you get past development and go into maintenance mode. What if a django dev gets a bug that cannot be fixed in the framework? This is one reason why I am reluctant to introduce SASS or LESS to our dev staff because most still do not understand the principles of CSS.

What if a django dev gets a bug that cannot be fixed in the framework? Presumably the same thing that happens when the python dev gets a bug that can't be fixed within the language. In the past, two bits of identical python bytecode netted me different results, turns out it was a pointer bug in one of the modules we were using. At the time I was really weak with C and had never worked with python.h. Sometimes to solve a problem developers have to jump down to the next level where they're completely out their depth. If you didn't skimp on salary when hiring they'll get the job done albeit slowly and emerge with a better understanding of the technology stack.
