Django provides built in auth that is pretty great and extensible. OAuth/SAML and canned or customized registration flows are just a matter of adding the django-allauth module.

Half of the things I do to improve performance for clients involve Redis. If you haven’t played with it be sure to give it a chance.

If anything the fact that DjangoCon is smaller than PyCon makes it more approachable in general. It’s feasible to actually meet everyone at DjangoCon if you really try which definitely isn’t the case with something as large as PyCon

Agreed! I’ve been able to automate or minimize tasks down to an hour or two a week. And if I can keep my hours of sales and other meetings down means I can still spend a significant amount of time on coding and ops. The hard part I find is

I rebuilt my personal site using Hugo a couple years ago and it’s been great. Super easy to write new posts in Markdown, flexible enough I could do anything I might need, but easy enough to build out just the features I need and no pressure

Agreed! If it’s more than a few lines I switch to something else usually Python these days. Couple decades ago even wrote some init scripts in Perl because they needed to be complicated.

This is definitely something about your local setup or config. We routinely run hundreds and thousands of simultaneous connections through various versions of Django without much trouble.

Been a big fan of PG since the late 90s. I always joke that the only time I’ve lost data with PG is when it was my own damn fault!

The necessary changes with your use of the framework are pretty minimal so it's easy enough to keep pace on about a quarterly basis. Usually the only friction is if there is a third party library/app you're using that doesn&#

When I started at the Lawrence Journal-World (the company who Open Sourced Django) I was forced to watch a really old cheesy video about Lock-Out Tag-Out which at the seemed stupid for a web developer. Then I was walked to the office past s
