@b0rk First, the syntax gets quite convoluted past a certain point I have the feeling like directly writing SQL might be easier then. Second, ORM models tables as they are in the database but you might need to model a specific thing instead (e.g. a piece of hardware for an e-shop that is actually spread over 3 different tables in the database). What feels like a newbie trap is that it seems easier at the beginning but hard/impossible later when your needs evolve.

@b0rk I've started using Django 2 years ago and since then I've definitely outgrown the ORM and feel like it's a newbie trap for only the most basic of tasks. I wish I had went with something else.

Cat's out of the bag:
FEX, an emulator I've been working on these past 4 years, is going to be part of the Steam Frame to bring x86 Windows games to an ARM Linux VR headset! 😊

Really happy to have been part of the journey and of the team that got FEX to where it is today. Can't wait for the release and community reception!

@weston Feel similar tbh, I looked at the red flowers you’re supposed to be jumping off of with spikes beneath and couldn’t believe this is an early area lol

Let's learn about this simple-but-useful tool to add extra context to your Django views.

I am a huge fan of wikis and I wish that Fandom would never appear in my search results again so I am really glad that someone's helping people move away from them:

Why we’re helping more wikis move away from Fandom

Hi! You may have seen that Weird Gloop is now hosting the official League of Legends Wiki. We’ve spent the last couple months working with the Riot folks and the League wiki editors to move it off of Fandom, and turn it into something the players will (hopefully!) really dig. I also love that it got started because one of the Riot guys plays a ton of Old School RuneScape and thinks our wiki is awesome. How cool is that?? I want this to kick off a new era where communities and developers take control from Fandom, and make some really great wikis. We’ve already been doing a bit of this, starting when we helped the Minecraft Wiki leave Fandom, but I think it’s time for me (and the rest of our group) to be more explicit about what we want to do.
