Good summary! I find Q objects non intuitive so always have to look usage up

Nice! definitely going to try this out

I don't think tutorials should be advocating this. Running the dev server in prod? CMD ["python", "manage.py", "runserver", "0.0.0.0:8000"] Other than that, the rest of the article is quite nice

This is the best explanation I have seen.

I have to disagree here. For all it's faults there is a very robust ecosystem of libraries to choose from.

I worked at a startup that used it. Great performance, easy to hire for, library for everything. This was 5 years ago so the .net core story wasn't as good then.

that's a good point but you do get warnings about issues (that you can block CI build on) and also much better IDE support

It's mean to call someone old. Now where are my glasses.

Yes, I am biased but that's why I asked this question - really interested in learning what has worked for other people on large projects.

I don't like all the cursing/vulgarity but you are not wrong about the culture of Java encouraging some architect astronauts - however that's a problem that has been getting better (I blame EJBs for starting it)

I love Python and have been using it for 20+ yrs as well. I have seen a lot of pain on older Python projects (pre type hints). I think you need more discipline and tests and docs to keep a large Python project on track. Not saying you can&#

Genuinely interested in your thoughts, please expand. For instance, I hear lots of great stuff about .net core but I don't see as large of an opensource ecosystem to support it - but maybe I am missing something.

Ask HN: Java or JVM based is the best choice for large projects. Prove me wrong

Just coding for fun on whatever I want to. 25 years in the biz, lot's of enterprise work that many times was not fun. Having a blast currently with Django/Python. Also poking around with Go and Flutter/Dart.

First - it's the best and most important thing you will do in your life. Second - you'll mess up occasionally, it's ok, everyone messes up. Third - time is a pretty pony and passes fast, spend a lot of time with your kids. Go

I've had a Django app running for 3+ years (stick to an LTS release) and it requires a very occasional security update (months in-between) but generally it's a 5 minute change to update the version, run the test suite and then pus

Ask HN: Why isn't Dart more popular?

Great book for getting started. Really helped me come up to speed a few years ago when I got back into Django.

I appreciate your perspective and the thought that went into it. I just wish beginners wouldn't feel like they need to grok GCBVs to be productive in Django. Thanks again for writing all these tips down - I definitely picked up a few t

by rlawson 4y ago
Lot's of good points in here. I disagree with generic CBVs though. I find FBVs or vanilla CBVs easier to maintain. I like Luke Plant's article https://spookylukey.github.io/django-views-the-right-way/

I see what you did there. Well done!

Go with Django as everything is included to get up and running quickly. Your most precious commodity as a founder is your time and attention. Skip the js and build a web 1.0 site that solves a real problem that people will hand you cash for

Thanks for htmx! I used intercooler and it was great but htmx is even better.

by rlawson 4y ago
+1 for unpoly, I like it a lot as well
207.
by rlawson 4y ago
I have the same question! Htmx is fantastic but I really wish there was an equivalent of strada/turbo-ios in the django/htmx world. I am not an app developer so in the past have just gone the pwa/add to home screen. I guess i

Agree - Java Concurrency in Practice was a revelation when it came out. Well the whole concurrent api by Dr. Lea made it all so much saner. Very excited for virtual threads!
