As someone today who is an unrelenting critic of python.

I have to say thank you to Simon and the Django community as a whole.

Its a wonderful "batteries included" framework that has launched many successful projects, companies, and careers. Mine included.

And I'd be lying if I didnt say I still use pgadmin as my benchmark for evaluating admin panels in other ecosystems.

What you all created with Django is amazing.

We'd all be much further behind in tech without it.

Thanks absolute heaps.

How can you be an unrelenting critic of Python but love Django?

Software is multilayered and you can prefer some layers over others.

I am huge fan of Python and Django. I despise PHP with the force of a thousand suns but I give enormous credit to Laravel as a well-designed framework that makes life bearable when working with PHP.

Same here: I started with PHP (and Zencart and the like) and moved on to Python and Django. When I had to step back to PHP for a while, Laravel was an island of sanity, just because it was clearly "let's do Django/Rails in PHP".
