Lovely day for a Guinness!
Maybe this is all just a simulation. Just characters in someone’s complicated Tamagotchi aboard a ship somewhere. Maybe the Beatles were right and we all live in a Yellow Submarine!

Things you don’t expect to hear from your 8th grader on Sunday morning: Dad I need rum.

Turns out she’s making tiramisu 🤣

If you maintain a @jazzband project, expect an email before @pycon. django-commons is a great option if you're looking for a new home, they've already taken on several projects and got the governance right from day one.

After more than 10 years, @jazzband is sunsetting.

I started it in 2015 because maintaining Open Source alone was exhausting. The idea was simple: shared access, shared responsibility. It's been an honor to watch it grow: 3,135 members, 84 projects, and a lot of code shipped together.

I'm coding hard today. Three concurrent sessions. Three different LLM models. Two different coding harnesses.

The future is weird, but I like it.

On today's episode of This Old Code we're working with two Django projects that are older than many popular frameworks.

Doing some light refactoring and updates and both are around 10 years old! After a little sanding and finish we'll have two beautiful pieces of software!

Remember when Domino’s used to promise 30 minutes of its free? Hoping their delivery tracker is just drunk because it’s gonna real cold when it gets here in Kansas if it’s just now leaving San Francisco….
Some days you're like man these LLMs are amazing. And then you fight with one to build a simple Grafana dashboard and realize there is still quite a ways to go! 🤣
Well this changes the tone
