Nathan Yergler (@nyergler), Principal Engineer at Eventbrite, and I had a chance to talk Django at OSCON 2013. We talk about why Django is the go-to choice for Pythonistas and about the growing technical debt that each programmer has to deal with on Python projects and beyond.
Key highlights include:
- Django is mature and feature complete amidst many Python frameworks [Discussed at 0:15]
- Testing in Django leads to straightforward code that the next programmer can read as well as you can [Discussed at 1:02]
- Dare we discuss Django’s weaknesses like: Is Django too monolithic? [Discussed at 2:43]
- Django at long last supports Python 3! Check out Django 1.5 [Discussed at 4:06]
- Dealing with technical debt while programming [Discussed at 5:36]
