Adrian & Jacob built a great framework, but more importantly they helped oversee the building of an awesome community and ecosystem over the last 8-9 years. Thank you both!


Indeed, but I think we've come to learn that frameworks and communities don't exist in vaccums and are probably one and the same, especially speaking as someone who had to start learning it from scratch and ask people for a lot of help.

It is so easy to get turned away from learning a framework, if the most visible people in the community are assholes.

All in all, a nice reminder that programming and developer communities like Django are about something much bigger than slinging code and reducing performance bottlenecks - nations unto themselves. I think that'll be the biggest legacy and impact people like Jacob in particular will leave us.
