This one hurt. I had a decade plus old piece of tech debt from when they fucking killed flash before I could move on to new projects.
Flash had its use. I think a better analogy for me is web frameworks.
I remember in the mid 2000s there seems to be a new one every week. “LOL, you aren’t using Ruby On Rails? Peasant!” “LOL, you aren’t using Django? Peasant!”
Still seems to be the case with Electron, React, Node, blah blah blah.
Running to stand still.
... I'm working on learning Django to get a job... should I stop? What should I use instead?
My webserver I've had for a while supports basically that.
As the other comment said, Django isn't going anywhere. I'd not start a new project in it, but it'll be with us for a long time.
For a more modern (and better) python stack, but which is also definitely here to stay, I'd look at FastAPI with sqlalchemy.
Well, I'm working on django-ninja , and that is vaugely related to fastapi, so I've got that going for me I guess. Thanks for the heads up
