Cal Henderson “Why I Hate Django” Djangocon 2008

I confess: I am a tech talk junkie. I often have some tech talk running on my desktop computer while I am working on my laptop, or watch one on my mobile phone while I am stuck in Bangkok traffic.

But this… this tech talk is a masterpiece. It’s geeky. It’s techy. It’s educational. It’s sarcastic. And, if you are a geek, it’s side-splitting funny. I laughed, I cried… I learned.

Warning: Ruby developers: you will be made the brunt of many jokes.

Highlight: Non-Ruby developers: Smug Ruby developers will be the brunt of many jokes.

Even if you are not into Django, it’s a great talk on scaling web apps and it’s f’ing funny too.

And Cal, if you are ever in Bangkok… I am buying, let’s go out for a drink: on me.
