An observation I had looking at the Stack Overflow 2025 developer survey is that Django is more popular with learners (17.2%) than professionals (11.7%).
I find it interesting because Django is "the web framework for professionals [...]" and the narrative is that it's "difficult to learn"

https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/technology/#1-web-frameworks-and-technologies

Django was the framework that taught me (and many folks, look at djangogirls) both programming and web development. Personally I think Django is a good teacher 🎓

I'm also a speaker! My talk is "Django Has a Marketing Problem: Debunking the Myths That Won't Die" If that interests you, please attend! I'd love to have a discussion about the talk and feedback is also really welcome 💜

@codingjoe@fosstodon.org I was thinking about this today. With projects that get a lot of PRs, maybe it's worth prioritizing PRs where the contributor has expressed self-doubt, invited input on a specific part, or indicated that they tried several solutions and have landed on this one. A PR review is a mini collaboration and it's more enjoyable to collaborate with people who present themselves as "human" 🤔

@carlton @adamchainz when the LTS is no longer supported... presumably, they upgrade. I don't see the difference. When they upgrade release by release, it's less painful. Brush your teeth, don't wait until you need to have a root canal 🤷‍♀️ But realistically, to make this change, we should do some kinda listening tour for the LTS to LTS folks and then show that release by release is not that much work. I am, of course, very biased because I want to use the new features asap 😅

@carlton @djangochat @nessita @wsvincent (🪱 can of worms warning) do we need to implement an LTS process? I find Django upgrades very painless. Maybe enough trust is built that they are no longer required?

@carlton @djangochat @nessita @wsvincent I think it's a nice coincidence that Ubuntu is using CalVer and is also an LTS every 2 years in April 🤔
