I'm a really happy Django user for 15 years and hopefully I'll still use it for at least another 15!

Django has a lot of beloved features but I think one of the most important is it's stability through the years: I actually have production apps that started on Django 1.4 and python 2.6 and now are updated and with with Django 5 and python 3.13.

All this without too much effort on my side or paying companies to support my projects.

So thank you Django people for the hard work!
