DjangoCon 2022 | Keynote: Scaling from One to Billions

Join us for DjangoCon 2022's keynote on Scaling from One to Billions, exploring the essential practices for efficiency, code quality, and community involvement in massive-scalable software development.

Key takeaways
  • Laziness is a key component of open-source software development, as it encourages developers to share and build upon each other’s work.
  • Ask questions: don’t be afraid to ask questions, even if you think it’s a stupid one, as it’s an important part of learning and growth.
  • Type hints: use type hints to improve code readability and avoid mistakes.
  • Document your code: comment your code and document it, as it helps others understand and build upon your work.
  • Practice and experiment: practice what you learn, try new things, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes.
  • Community involvement: get involved in the Django community, share your knowledge, and learn from others.
  • Focus on the process: focus on the process of learning and development, rather than just the end result.
  • Don’t repeat yourself: avoid writing the same code twice, instead create functions or modules to reuse code.
  • Code completion and testing: use code completion tools and write tests to improve code quality and speed up development.
  • Climate change: consider the impact of your work on the environment and strive to make a positive difference.
  • Scaling: remember that as software engineers, your work can have a significant impact on a large scale.
