Cal Henderson's talk at DjangoCon 08
haha, after watching Cal Henderson talk shit about the Python web framework, Django at the DjangoCon mind you, I must say he knows his shit. One could learn a lot from him. I know that this conference was a couple of weeks ago, however I still enjoyed it.
I think It’s good that he mentioned some of the flaws in the framework. He uses the framework for some of his projects (Pownce) so it’s not like he’s talking out of his ass. Not every framework is perfect and he made damn sure that this was known! :P
Anyway, most of issue he talked about were scaling and infrastructure related such as the support for different database clusters. I wish he’d would have talked about frameworks he likes and recommends but I guess he didn’t want to advertise anything or start a flamewar. Instead, he kept comparing Django to the Flickr’s internal “Flamework”, as he calls it.
Also, in his talk, Cal mentions that Rails developers are the most arrogant people, which I find both funny and true! Great presentation.
As for a personally note, I think whatever the team is the most productive in and the best tool for the job. I keep both of these things in mind when starting a fresh project!
