Django code is pretty easy to review quickly. LLMs are good at writing it.
Django is just old and bloated, so the fork is a good idea. Maybe I will use this for my next side project.
Everything which just works "by convention" or by "opinionated defaults" (allowing a tightly coupled but very feature rich framework) helps to reduce the noise / lines that needs to be reviewed.
While this approach might not be optimal for every project, I'm certain the opinionated defaults can work for many endeavours. And the reduction of complexity might be one important aspect, which can make an "agentically engineered" project sustainable.
This is exactly why I've gone back to Ruby with Sinatra or Rails for my personal side projects, despite Ruby's horrid performance. As long as you are content to remain on e.g. Rails' "Happy Path", then I've found agents to a fantastic job because there's less surface area where a context mismatch/hallucination can end up going off the rails. Pun not intended.
- fork of django
- it's opinionated
- typed
- comes with skills / rules / docs baked in
I'm not against this idea in principle, but I'm also not sure why that is better than what's already out there, except maybe you save some tokens by not vibe coding this yourself?
I do think in the future we'll see some novel libraries that are agent-optimized first. I'm not sure if this is it, though.
