OK, I said it: > As an aside, I think we should seriously be considering moving off of GitHub, not committing ourselves more. The hosting is fine. The free CI is fine. Everything else is increasing problematic.
Great effort from JetBrains continuing to support the Python and Django surveys. It’s a big lift. 👏 I think it’s a good rep builder. I never knew who JB were, but then they kept turning up to run this thing. I remember thinking a couple of times seeing it in: I’d better check them out. “Doing stuff” trumps pretty much everything 🎩 From: @Will Vincent
Woohoo 🥳 “Ready for checkin” template-partials is going to be in Django 6.0. 💃 Awesome work @npub1u9xw...fz8e 👊 and @nessita guiding it across the line 🙌 #django 🦄
Kids saw me on Mastodon. A sample of their mockery: “Down with twitter! Down with Reddit! Down with anything that has more than 100 users!” Bit close to the bone, but not unfair 🥳
Youngest (12) asks the “how do you teach a computer to understand 0s and 1s?l and “how do you get from that to images on a screen?” Questions. Their turn at the old trusty. image
Sticking with Trac proves wise again 🫠 From: @npub19sje...vnzm
Good to see that with all this focus on AI GitHub CAN still work on the important problems
There’s a uv livestream on the PyCharm YouTube channel any minute (like now!) It’s got @Michael Kennedy, our very own @Will Vincent, and I think maybe some other notables. I can’t go. Something about having 4 kids, and these things always being scheduled at tea time. But maybe you’d like it? 🍿 #Python
I've been playing with htpy recently. Really enjoying it. The Django integration is super. 👌 The whole "Let's build HTML in Python" thing sometimes feels a bit crazy, but it unlocks the dynamic composition that everyone thirsts for (especially you React folks 😉) Of course, nothing is new under the sun. Django Crispy Forms has had dynamic layouts for an age and a day: We're all heading to the same lighthouse in the fog. We're just coming from different directions 🗺️
Hey folks, if you had to explain — to someone not in tech — the difference between a community conference, like a DjangoCon or a PyCon, and commercial conferences*, how would you phrase it? (* I have a couple of examples in mind, but what examples would you give?) Thanks! (Boosts appreciated)
