Skipping the Django conference season this autumn is still the right call for me but the FOMO is hitting hard now. 😅@djangodenmark&#39;s Django Day TOMORROW, @djangocon in a week or so, and then @djangoconafrica next month Online tickets it is going to have to be 📺🍿💬

In the latest @djangochat, @nessita discussed how her non-Django friends were underwhelmed by the features in #Django **5.0** — the major version is meant to mean some big breaking change. @wsvincent has discussed numerous times how the X.0, X.1, X.2 LTS, Y.0, … cycle is confusing. But how could we change it? The X.2 tells you WHICH ONE is the LTS. The 24 month cycle means that if we went CalVer (say) the .4 would always be the LTS, so 23.4 (4.2) 25.4 (5.2) and so on.
