Huge thanks to @wsvincent and @webology for building such a great newsletter over the years, and for creating a space where Updates to Django can thrive ✨
Thanks as well to all the supporters, volunteers, and my teammates in the Django News team @pradhvan @amoateng @afimaame @veldakiara and @valentina_hwayoung for the weekly commitment 💚
And last but not least, thank you @sarahboyce for starting it all and for welcoming us into "Updates to Django" 🌱
Tim SchillingI joined @kjaymiller on his live stream series, "Elephant in the room" where we discussed a package we built for #Django on top of the #PostgreSQL Anonymizer extension.
If you are interested in faking/anonymizing data in your staging/dev environments, give it a look and let us know what you think!

django-security-label: A third-party package to anonymize data in your models
Django Security Label is a Django third-party package to help you define rules to dynamically anonymize/mask your data for PostgreSQL databases. It makes use of the PostgreSQL Anonymizer extension and supports creating any type of SECURITY LABEL.
SpeakWise GlobalMissed a talk you wanted to attend?
On SpeakWise, speakers can share talks they’ve already given so the community can still explore and learn from them.
Check out talks from Sarah Abderemane on SpeakWise.
StephanieI've seen themes of people talking about how AI slop is causing a lot of demoralization and inefficiencies in open source and is ultimately disincentivizing contributors and communities to stick around (e.g. most recently saw news of Jazzband shutting down). Wondering if anyone's been thinking about or has already started collaborative groups organized around advocating for systemic ways to mitigate the negative impacts, e.g. petitions, conversations with relevant stakeholders, etc? #opensource
Why are these companies trying to add AI to every single Saas?

The user experience for github seems to worsen every day
👋 I’m exploring new backend opportunities.
Backend engineer experienced with:
• Python / Django / DRF / Flask /FastApi
• Node.js / Express
• PHP / Codeigniter 4
• REST API design
• PostgreSQL
• Microservices & service-to-service APIs
Open to remote roles or interesting backend projects.
If you’re hiring (or know someone who is), I’d appreciate a boost 🙏
