But the page title of the submission it actually links to is "Exercise 0: The Setup:"

I think whoever posted this on HN was purposely taking things out of context for controversial lulz.

I can sort of empathize, with having too much focus on the planning/pm process, I've been there, done that, it's a potential problem. But not a reason to disregard the tools or the need for them.

There's flaws in accounting processes too, but I believe sane people would all agree that accounting processes are needed.

If there are problems in the way you are measuring, deciding that measuring is bad is just silly.

Article 16.

(1) Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution. (2) Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses. (3) The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.

It seems the UN is against gay marriage so that's where the next witch hunt should go

this is the killer feature that would move me to python 3. alas, not released yet. And I took a rails job :(

You believe it, I tried it, and it failed, the non-rel project isn't even under active development anymore. And if appengine had not introduced cloudsql as an option, django would be useless on that platform.(IMO)

> And also Django is modular enough that you only need to use the parts you require.

As I said before, without the django orm, there's not much useful stuff left in django that will work without it. There's better request routing options than regex based IMO. There's better form libs and validation libs. There are certainly better performing template engines, what is left of django that's a better choice over something else?

true

the workflow for this particular project seemed to go like this...

* get requirement from client * search google for plugins/modules/etc * choose some * try to get them to work * use them or fork them or find others

which to me seems a pretty roundabout way of getting something accomplished if you already know what needs to be done. it doesn't feel like programming, it feels to me like assembling things and testing/hoping there are no issues. I'd rather be programming.

I loved those days. :)
