      "My family's organic farm is looking for additional django developers" Think about that sentence for a minute and what it means for job markets broadlyhttps://twitter.com/kate_sills/status/974700820624125952 …

      It means this is a badly managed farm, from my perspective. You should NEVER be in the custom software biz unless your product is software... not beets and radishes

      Possibly, but hard to say with literally zero context

          The words “custom software” should send a chill down one’s spine, if it does not, we are failing to teach the world about software

          Financially: at a certain scale, if your success is 100% reliant on handling/responding to information, custom software (even terrible custom software) can be financially justifiable. Too often the incumbent solutions are cripplingly expensive, broken, and suffocatingly limited.

          Inheriting terrible homebrew stuff sucks. But from the business side, even amateurishly written projects are often transformative enough to allow the business to get ahead of the competitors in their tier, in a way they couldn't with incumbent solutions, if they even exist.

          Out of the box solutions in this space don’t seem to exist, or the ones that do are too expensive for a family farm. A friend kept asking me to build one. Kept explaining they couldn’t afford it, even at family discount.

          We have a tiny bit of context. It's apparently for a farm in California. Custom software for a farm would be barely worth it in the third world, due to unfavorable exchange rates (that make licenses too expensive) and low labor costs. California is the opposite of that.
