Once upon a time, there was an on-premises, non-profit training provider called Umuzi. Umuzi focused on teaching high-value digital skills (including Python) to high-potential un/der-employed youth and was based in JeppesTown, South Africa. The premises were… cosy. I had recently been promoted to be Umuzi’s CTO when COVID hit. It was a rough time, we had a lot of learners who we had brought into Jeppestown from around the country for training and we needed to figure out how to get them all home and how to keep supporting their growth and learning. In the end we didn’t just survive COVID, we scaled up. Django helped.
