The article is very nice, some great advice, and like others said it's not just relevant to Django.
One part I don't agree with is about frontend. Frameworks have stabilised quite a bit, pick React or Angular and you can expect support for years to come. I still maintain a 5+ year old React frontend with lots of logic, updating hasn't been an issue at all (codemods), since we moved it to CRA it has been even easier.
Things like formatting dates: you can wrap it in your own function then it takes a few minutes to swap the library, but you likely won't have to change it if you follow the tips in this article about dependencies, which are very good!
Anyway, great article, very good advice. I think it does a good job of explaining that you should think about why you do things and focus on what matters and makes a difference.
