Happy 20th birthday Django! | Alex Tomkins
Happy 20th birthday Django! 🎂 It's been 20 years since the first public commit to Django, and the scary thing you realise when these milestones come along - just how long I've been using Django (over 17 years!). I remember discovering Django towards the end of 2007, and showing it to Stephen Hawkes. It was a framework in a language we knew was pretty good (Python!), but hadn't used for any web projects. The one thing that sold it for us at the time - an admin interface that was so easy to use, and didn't require much additional code. So much has changed since we started using Django, but it's always been something we've been able to rely on. Every release improves on the last, and always aims to be as backwards compatible as possible. We're perfectionists with deadlines, it's an easy choice every time. A huge thank you...

Does anyone else find that having code automating the APIs on several platforms at once feels a bit like a wizard fighting multiple foes?
