  1. Good answers but OP might also want to read up on Test Driven Development too aka TDD. Any aspiring software engineers looking to land your first gig: Learn about how to write good tests and speak about them in your interview. I can promise you that's SE interview gold.

  3. I mean good for you knowing the term NodeJS but given that Django and Node JS are fundamentally different types of things (e.g. one's a web framework, one isn't) you can't really say it's an appropriate choice because it isn't a like for like for like. If you'd say compared Django with Express, which came out about that time, maybe but saying NodeJS makes me think you aren't clear on what NodeJS is. Or Django. Or both lol.
