   He expects you to already be convinced that writing idiomatic Python is what you want to do. If you're not, here are some arguments: 1. The idioms are generally the most elegant way of using the language, so if you use them, it means t

   Thanks for the detailed answer. I'm actually planning on creating a course and this is very valuable information. I can let you know when it's done.

   I disagree. You also need to learn how the web works, about requests and responses, and handling user input through forms, etc. What part of the deployment process are you having difficulty with?

   I think that is the case. Even though the name is Hacker News, I suspect that most visitors are interested in the startup/business side of things, even though there is an important core of technical people.

   You have touched a nerve. First, the part where your developer breaks the site and leaves really tells you that he doesn't care about the product. On the other hand, the fact that he chooses to leave when his time is out shows you that

    Whether they write PHP mixed with HTML is another thing. The point is that they write PHP and not some other language, which is what I was saying. HipHop has near full support for PHP 5.4, including the "create_function" and &quot

    There are plenty which are production ready and good quality. Some examples that I use are haystack, compressor and rest-framework. If the customer tells you to use a shitty app, explain to them why you can't. They don't know bett

    I think that he meant that Django has a bigger ecosystem with a lot of different apps, so you don't write everything from scratch. There are apps for migrations, building a REST api, having a tagging system, integration with search eng

    Maybe it works for them, but I don't find any motivation to work on test project that exist only for their own sake. I mean, if the test project is actually a part of the real project that I would be working, then that's okay. But

    Well, it was Nokia the ones who said that they wanted to differentiate themselves, which they clearly didn't since they chose an OS used by other manufacturers as well. What he's saying is that Nokia could have at least chosen the

    If you're using another "common" language, you're probably not missing out on anything. The distinction he was making was between Java and a "not common" language, like Common Lisp, for example.
