Finally, in my opinion, the best reason to not use Django is not the project itself (because it will do the job in 99% case), it's because all you learn is tied to Django.

Having learn Pydantic recently was a breed of fresh air, and I would reuse it in lots of projects, not only web projects.

+1 on this. Django scales pretty well when adopting a clean architecture like Django Model Behaviours with mixins.

Same. In ten years, the only issue I had is with a very complex query that the ORM was not able to write properly. But a workaround existed.

I'm currently using FastAPI in a project. It's very enjoyable (especially with a strictly typed codebase) but I have to write lots of batteries by myself, which is not very productive (unless you keep this boilerplate code for future projects).

People keep genuinely saying it's a good thing to have many tools to apply to the right usage. Personnaly, constantly switching from htmx to vue.js just fucks my brain.

I miss the time where I used Django or Rails and didn't need to ask myself all these questions.

htmx shines to add dynamic behaviour on some pages, but is not appropriate to replace a medium-sized SPA in my opinion.

What I don't understand is how these startups seem to be finding their recruits without much difficulty (otherwise, the salary offered would be much higher, compared to web development, for example). How is it possible that despite this strong and sudden increase in demand, the supply is able to keep up?

Have engineering schools anticipated this and trained all their engineers in AI? Have web developers managed a rapid career shift just with YouTube videos? Or is it that startups claiming to do AI are just connecting to APIs after all (and perhaps I could apply as a web developer too)?

Email: david.dahan3 [a] gmail.com

I built multiple ambitious products from scratch in early-stage startups and created my own startup. I have a deep understanding of the requirements of a startup, and I'd like to become the founding engineer (future CTO) of an early stage startup. I have more than 10 years of experience. You can read my blog: https://david-dahan.com/blog (mix of English and French).

And I actually liked this polyvalence, until now, because it became very difficult to find a new job that takes advantage of my versatility. The profiles sought are always specialized in established companies. Almost no one is looking for a "jack of all trades."

I would probably be a good fit being the co-founder of a new startup, but I can't afford not being paid for many months right now.

At this stage of my life, I am starting to regret my versatility while I sincerely thought it was a strength.

What would you do?
