Why isn't

Model.objects.get_or_none()

a thing in ?

That would save some boilerplate code or am I wrong?

Because if there is a chance that there is no entry for the query get()will raise a DoesNotExist exception that you have to catch.

get_or_none()would be cleaner in my opinion.

benjaoming,
@benjaoming@social.data.coop avatar

@SebastianM6L you can use .first() if you don't care about MultipleObjectsReturned issues. Otherwise, I think it's best to define your own logic for your particular case. I wouldn't like the framework to "trick" people, so I think the current behavior is really good 😇

I want the equivalent of 'lint' or 'ruff' for GitHub repos. Does the repo name match a pattern? Are the right issue labels set up? Et cetera. I can write a script to do this, but if it already exists, a pointer would be welcome: how do you manage the 780 repos your org has?

benjaoming,

@gvwilson I know that @aj has built some tooling for managing consistent labels across repos.. in case he sees this (may not be so active here)

Interesting. Several Canonical projects are using Discourse as their platform.

As with documentation using wikis, it's nearly the opposite of Documentation As Code. Instead of benefiting from a relationship between documentation, the software, its versioning and CI platforms, it builds a direct relation between documentation, support and community.

Here's an introduction: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/documentation-contributions/35868

benjaoming,
@benjaoming@social.data.coop avatar

@nanorepublica Thanks for doing this write-up! Your part 1 and part 2 resemble my experience, too. Especially naming the project package simply project or django_project is something I've used the past years to avoid conflating the understanding with the custom application where 99% of logic lives.

If one was to take a "safe bet" at the inception of a project, I would go with "part 2" :)

benjaoming,
@benjaoming@social.data.coop avatar

@nanorepublica I've also had projects as Python packages with everything under src/<acme>/:

src/acme  
src/acme/project # Django project  
src/acme/apps/users # User handling  
src/acme/apps/pages # Wagtail stuff  
src/acme/apps/events # Events stuff

That way, we can do DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=acme.project.settings which I think is nice :)

@stefan @stefan Another reason why Phanpy has >63% of alt texts on images, has to be that users have a constant reminder and experience of alt texts, since the text appears as a caption.

When I typed in an alt text in the normal Mastodon web client, the devil inside me used to whisper: "pssst! most people won't see that text anyways".

The example in the image is from a post by @mariatta - random hi from your follower 👋

One thing that I'm missing with HTMX and Django is proper error handling.

By default HTMX swallows any response that is not a 2xx, which might leave your users hanging on an endless loading state.

Does anyone have a good solution for this that can be reused between projects?

@stefan I'm super-sad to hear that 💔 I didn't know Steve Albini had passed, it's so early, and such a life force. He's been an inspiration to me since... I dunno... I had just moved out from my parents when I got introduced to Shellac and things started moving fast from there.

    @aiefel it's horrible... those ideas are even very specific and planned out in a leaked policy proposal from October. Whether it's an implemented policy seems pretty much up to the observer by now.
