This weekend I attended FOSDEM for the first time, and it was also my first time in Belgium. As a first-timer in the event, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, just lots of open source software talks, but the energy and scale of the event were noticeable from the very beginning. There was a huge diversity of topics and people coming from all over the world. Some of the talks I managed to attend were in the Main track, as well as the Python, Geospatial, Data Science, and Browser and Web Platform rooms. The rest of the time, I had the chance to participate at the EPS + PSF + DSF stand, and it was really nice to have the Django Software Foundation, Python Software Foundation and EuroPython Society people together and spend time with them. I finally met in person many people from the community that I had only known online until now, and I also got to talk with so many interesting people who stopped by, which made the experience even more special. I’m very grateful to Nephila for giving me the opportunity to participate in FOSDEM and for the trust and support they show by encouraging involvement in the open source community. Experiences like this are incredibly valuable for learning, exchanging ideas, and growing both professionally and personally. I would highly recommend the conference to anyone interested in open source and technology. #FOSDEM #OpenSource #Django #Python #Community

Django is dead. In 2026, there is absolutely no reason to start a new project with it. Believe it or not, that's what I've been reading on Reddit for the last few years. The narrative is that we are in the era of microservices and everything must be built on modern FastAPI, Go, or Rust. Django is often dismissed as a sluggish, synchronous monolith dragging a ton of legacy weight. Let's take the rose-tinted glasses off for a second. When you are architecting a system, your primary KPI isn't the "trendiness" of the stack. It's Time-to-Market. The business stakeholders don't care how elegantly you've configured your Dependency Injection. The business needs an MVP yesterday. In this arena, Django still has no rivals (except Ruby on Rails 😁). While a team focusing on microservices is still writing boilerplate for authentication, setting up migrations, and gluing together a custom admin panel, a Django developer has already deployed a working product and is off grabbing a coffee. We often confuse "high load" (where specific optimizations are needed) with "high domain complexity." For 90% of startups and enterprise systems, the bottleneck isn't the programming language - it's the database or poor architecture. Django isn't dead. It has simply matured into "boring technology". True seniority is about context. It's knowing when to deploy a high-performance async stack, and when to leverage "boring technology" to deliver immediate business value What's your go-to for starting a greenfield project today: the speed of "batteries included" or the flexibility of micro-frameworks? 👇 #python #django #fastapi #softwarearchitecture #backend #programming #technology #mvp #startup
