i keep seeing twitter arguments about whether next.js 16 or remix or tanstack start is the future, meanwhile im just shipping stuff in django and nobody talks about it
the admin alone has saved me probably a month of work this year across like 3 small projects. nobody else has anything close to it. you get a working backoffice for free, real auth, real permissions, real CRUD, the moment you define your models. it isnt sexy and nobody screenshots it on twitter but its incredible
the ORM gets clowned for being "opinionated" or "magic" but in practice it just stays out of the way. ive been writing django apps for years and i still find query patterns that work first try. compare that to fighting prisma or drizzle migrations at 11pm trying to figure out why the relation isnt generating
async support is finally in a place where i dont have to think about it. every async question on django used to be answered with "well it depends." now its just working
last month i shipped a small saas mvp in like three weeks. django + htmx, no build step, no node_modules folder eating my SSD, no vite config, no tailwind compile pipeline, just python rendering html. felt almost illegal how little setup it needed
the lack of hype is actually a feature at this point i think. nothing new to learn every 6 months, patterns that worked in 2018 still work, you can google (if you still do at least) something and answer from 7 years ago is still correct. boring tech is its own kind of productivity
idk maybe everyone else is right and im missing out on something fundamental, but every time i try to start a project in some modern js stack i lose half a day to tooling before writing a single line of business logic
Hi everyone, I just want to ask for some advice.
I recently applied for a Junior Full Stack Developer position at a company called Globalco in Makati. I’m a fresh graduate, so I’m currently exploring opportunities and trying to gain experience.
However, I’m feeling a bit uncertain because there’s not much information or reviews about the company online. It seems like a startup or a growing company focused on AI and outsourcing, but I’m not sure about the work environment, stability, or expectations.
Has anyone here worked at Globalco or heard about them? How’s the work culture, workload, and overall experience?
Also, as a fresh grad, would you recommend going for this type of company, or should I focus on more established companies instead?
Any advice would really help. Thank you!
