I agree. I have a really bad memory but I can easily "listen" to a song I have heard a few times and I can hear several instruments, not only one. I think that this is just because I'm a musician.
Wanted to check out your project but your homepage looks broken on my iPhone. You might want to fix it ;-)
Quick question: why did you need to write FreezeGun?
I've always used Mock http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock/ to patch datetimes and I've never had any problems.
You can patch pretty much anything with Mock.

Well, I totally agree with you that there are no perfect companies but for the rest, I believe you don't have very good arguments.
I do understand that recruiters have to place people and they don't really mind/understand if the company is good or not but I can't see why this should be our problem.
Built lots of CMS in Django. In my experience, they are usually custom and never the same.
For this reason I usually use FeinCMS (http://www.feincms.org/) and configure/customise things according to my client's needs.
"If you’ve had five jobs in the last five years, why should the recruiter think this time will be different?"
Maybe because who is hiring is supposed to be better than the others? There are far too many terrible companies, especially the big ones, and honestly I would never stay in a company just for the sake of it.
If recruiters think that this is a problem, it means that who is hiring is not confident enough or worse, the company IS really terrible like the others.
IMHO, nobody leaves a company if he feels good, stimulated and paid enough.
I see your point but in my opinion, requests is quite different from SQLAlchemy, Flask and fabric. I wouldn't put them at the same level.
Well, I guess it's good for us developers.
Great news for you guys, congratulations!
Am I the only one to find this a bit sad? People do what Apple does. I know, it's always been like this...

> there's a severe shortage of good developers
Couldn't agree more!
I'm a freelancer and I've been using this approach since ever. I wish more developers did too because it's really frustrating when they don't and you need to maintain their code.
It doesn't work at all? Well if you use another browser and take a look at it you might understand why. I would probably do the same.
I saw it several months ago
It works perfectly on Safari
Agree, I use Django and I had no idea what they were talking about.
They should check out other frameworks before writing posts with generic headlines.
Apple often features apps of poor quality and it's not always clear why (e.g. games with 3 stars developed by big names or indie apps not working as they promise). So, yes, I understand why people are surprised.
I use fabric as well with your same approach but I sometimes find easier to have git installed on the server and just pull from the main repository.
I also use fabric for nginx and Apache config files so that I keep track of the changes and replace the files on the server if needed.
And finally, I use fabric again to install needed virtualenv requirements.
Nice idea.
With 10K people signing up for lifetime you get 499*10K = almost 5 million, not bad!
I'm a Django developer working from home most of the time. As you said, it is a bit depressing at the beginning but I believe that with time you start developing new activities and make friends online. I find it really productive and stimulating but it depends on your character of course.
My hourly rate is usually higher than my daily rate, in this way most of my clients tend to hire me for the whole day.
But it depends on the type of job I guess.
