Have you written about the drawbacks of Django anywhere? I can’t decide where I land on this kind of stuff.

On the one hand, Django’s not “fully async”, etc.

On the other hand, someone built Instagram with it, and it hit the right balance of structure and flexibility that they could modify it’s pluggable parts to meet their needs, and eventually it’s perhaps nothing but the Django request/response cycle with everything else custom built. But to me that’s a wildly positive success story. Working as intended.

And you know, the trope of “you don’t have any users”, funny because it’s (usually) true. Like async/etc doesn’t matter when you need to serve 1 request per minute.
