I didn't take it that way, no worries!

Strange. I can't think of any reason why Django would not be suitable
for a single developer. Of course the developer has to understand HTML
and probably CSS and JavaScript  but that is no different than any
other web development tool.

Googling finds this:

which seems to refer to the same talk. I am not a fan of the Django
template language - I think it is too restrictive - but I don't see
how it is harder to use it as a single developer than it would be for
a team...
