I saw this Mastodon post last week and thought it worth sharing.

Weekend #django question/poll

How often do you use startproject & startapp or something else?

These commands vary by the client or project I’m working on.

I use startproject one to two times a month.

I use startapp one to a dozen times a week.

I have used copier and cookiecutter, and both have their place, but I only use them occasionally.

I create more new projects and apps than the average developer because I’m curious and spin up projects quickly to try out ideas. I prefer this over every experiment being part of a mono project because I will throw most of these away.

and how many years since you started using django?

I have been using Django since 2006.
