Sorry everyone. I didn't realize the email hadn't gone out. My test email was in my inbox.

We contacted support and are waiting for it to send but you can still see it online.

Welp edition 331 of Django News Newsletter is out. Hard to believe @webology and I have been doing this for over 7 years now, every single week.

We're at 4,300ish subscribers: large enough to reach the people who influence Django, small enough to be a drop in the ocean of developers actually using Django.

It's a somewhat odd place to be.

I can't take the complaints about MacOS Tahoe serious, but I'm the first to say you are right about Apple'e assanine camera notch that's in their latops and phones and it sucks.

I'm happy to see Tailscale calling them out becuasse it's where my menu bar icons go to die. I even use an app to try work aound it.

How notch traversal works on MacBooks

Tailscale now has a full windowed UI. Before that, our app had to learn how to tell you it was hidden by The Notch.

Look this isn’t at all a defense of slop code, but it has me thinking — how much does code quality matter, and why?

It’s maintenance, right? We care about readability because we know we’ll have to make changes, fix bugs, etc.

But so … imagine a codebase that’s magically bug-free and feature-complete. (I’m aware this is a strawman - that’s the point, it’s a thought experiment.) Does it matter if this codebase is well-written? I’m not sure it does! (1/5)

I keep seeing posts from people backing off their UV + PIP updates by a week, and I'm curious about the adverse effects of waiting on security updates vs. installing them.

This could do more harm than good unless I'm misunderstanding it. Take Django, which has very few dependencies https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/pyproject.toml#L9-L12

If you run a large-traffic website and know a security update has been released, I can't see why you shouldn't update it immediately. 🤔

This looks like a pretty cool app. It's amazing the kinds of apps people are building now that the barriers to developing MacOS aps have been removed.
