DESCRIPTION
Since its release three years ago Django’s grown by leaps and bounds; it’s now part of a highly successful new generation of web development tools.However, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing for the Django team. As any Open Source community does, we’ve needed to make a series of tough decisions along the way. These decisions have shaped Django’s internals, public APIs, and community.

“The CMS”
Philosophy
Make development fast
Automate repetitive tasks
Best practices
“”
The ink is never dry on these babies.
— Adrian Holovaty
Choices
Open Source
BSD license
Pragmatism over Methodology
GoF?
MVC?
TDD?
Snake Oil
“”
No silver bullet.
— Fred BrooksAuthor of The Mythical Man-Month
The Real World
“”
Build cool shit.
— Rob Curley
Ramifications
“What’s the need?”
No architecture astronauts
Reinventing the wheel
“Magic” over boilerplate
Web development is boring
It should be fun!
not show how they work
APIs should match behavior,
Ramifications
It can go too far.
Messy internals
More power in less code
Easier to document
“Full stack”
“Best of breed”
Why full stack?
Lack of choices at the time
“Glued together”
Ramifications
More control
Don’t repeat Zope’s mistakes
“”
Innovation happens
elsewhere.
— Bill Joy
Small pieces advance quicker
“Sensible defaults”
“Opinionated Software”
Ego is dangerous
You can’t possibly predict what everyone wants
(this is harder than it sounds)... so listen to your users!
over “pluggable components”“One obvious way”

Choice is good for experts ...
... but not good for new users
More beginners
“”
Don’t make me think.
— Steve Krug
“”
It seems ... that if choice is good, then more choice is better. The paradox is that this “obvious” truth isn’t true... a
point can be reached where, with more choice, people are worse off.
— Barry Schwartz“The Paradox of Choice”
Ramifications
Consistency
Make complicated things easy
Don’t reinvent the wheel
Set our own pace
