The 2026 Django Developers Survey (results coming soon!) found that AI is part of the weekly or daily workflow for 90% of respondents. AI can write code quickly, but Django developers still need to understand the application, evaluate what the agent produces, and be accountable for what ships.

Weeknotes (2026 week 33) Holidays and the heat wave I had four weeks of holidays this summer. The timing couldn’t have been much better with the heat wave – doing much thinking seems to be impossible anyway. I organized a multi-day feast with a few friends and with much help from others. We built up the site and installations over the course of multiple days and spent some days tearing most of it down afterwards. I started back to the office job physically tired but mentally rested. That’s good…
