🧵 How to do blue 🔵-green 🟢 deployments with Django migrations?  

Use SeparateDatabaseAndState()‼️

1. Generate migrations
2. Move all operations to the state_operations argument of SeparateDatabaseAndState() and leave database_operations empty
3. Deploy to all instances. DB structure is unchanged. Everything works with both versions of your app ✅

Because official policy or no, there was *absolutely* someone at this company who could and would have given me the credit card number I needed and made sure the invoices got handled.

You can model big companies as ongoing civil wars between "people who are incentivized to spend money" and "people who are incentivized not to spend money." The essence of enterprise sales is "find someone in group 1 and help them defeat their enemies in group 2."

So since the "open source supply chain" thing is going around again, I want to take a moment to clear up a misconception a lot of folks seem to have about the motivations of large companies.

They don't, by and large, use FOSS without paying for it because they're evil capitalists trying to keep their costs down.

They use FOSS without paying for it because individual humans are trying to avoid unpleasant social interactions.

“Until then, I am not your supplier. So all your Software Supply Chain ideas? You are not buying from a supplier, you are a raccoon digging through dumpsters for free code. So I would advise you to put these rules in the same dumpster.” Brilliant article. https://www.softwaremaxims.com/blog/not-a-supplier

Mastodon
@willmcgugan oh this is nice I’ll use it for next open source

@non_saturatio is okay :)

i can roughly guess at the point you're making

@non_saturatio admittedly I’m weird

Also I don’t get the game references 😆

@gdinwiddie oh wow thank you George !

Asking for help and being self sufficient are not mutually exclusive

People love to help those who help themselves

Make it easy for people to want to help

Show your ambitions
Document your tries

People notice

when i first join mastodon, i know there's a way to import people i follow on twitter. but it's a one off

if someone joins mastodon after i joined, i won't get informed.

What's your solution for this?
