Creating anything worthwhile is like a marathon, and you must train for it.

Some of the biggest companies in the world use Django, but the project's budget is comparable to a single bay-area engineer's salary. If your company uses Django, please ask them to donate! It's a great way to say thanks, and really helps keep the framework going.

Knowledge is always progressing. Don’t let your ego fool you. You are always knowledge’s inferior.

For the last two years now, I've been funding this digital learning center in my village, using @ulessonapp to replace teachers they don't have available in critical subjects. It's a stop gap measure but it has been really transformational for a lot of the students. They're doing better academically, speaking well and marked improvement in external exam results. The real long term solution is to refurbish the town's library, stock it and staff the school's better. But that costs the type of money I don't have. So if you see me in the near future hustling to raise funds for this, just help me and donate. Thank you in advance.

Embrace your strangeness. Identify what makes you different. Fuse those things together and become an anomaly.

It is in fact the height of selfishness to merely consume what others create and to retreat into a shell of limited goals and immediate pleasures.

Seeing my community grooming young ones gives me hope that one day, when I pass the baton, the fire we started will still be burning. PyCon Namibia things 🐍
