Thanks to @ewjoachim 's contributions at last years DCEU sprints. 🏅

Django's docs now have more [source] links which now link to the source code on GitHub.

For example, see the BoundField docs:

Yesterday's Python superpower was removing mostly blank records from a ~400MB csv file. 🎉

Had a day off today for my youngest sons birthday. And I've not been on slack, just a sneak peek at discord & not looked at my github notifications. I'm impressed.
Tomorrow off as well, wonder if I can manage it again. Years of people asking me things on days off meant these habits became a daily thing. The disconnect has been nice today.

It’s looking like I might be in Madrid the Monday before #DjangoConEurope (travelling to Vigo on the Tuesday) 🤔 Anyone else looking that way?

An article on AI and accessibility.

New post, about a new talk 😅

Know your limits: On Surviving Open Source.

I was honoured to be invited to talk to the latest batch of @djangonaut volunteers, and we had a great Q&A afterwards.

The video has just been posted to YouTube.

Trying to implement the "gain consensus" approach to making changes to a shared project at work. Yet another thing I've learnt from the Django community. 💚

OK, template-partials as #Django 5.0 as_field_group() templates is my new hammer 🥰

Yesterday we closed the ordering for my son's school hot lunch program that I'm helping with.
200+ students will be getting tacos, burritos, and churritos!
🌮🌯😋

This was supposed to launch the beginning of school year, but due to lack of volunteers, nothing happened.

NBD, it's just like handling the catering for conference. Still, I'm learning something new and it feels nice to help local students.

Now if I could just make the other parents to write docs, use spreadsheets, use GDrive, etc 😅

Opened discord the other day... folk were chatting about writing a JSON parser for a HTTP response. This is relevant, I thought.

Then I realised was on a VBA server, not the Django one.

Folk are doing this in Excel! 🤯

I'm an HTML First convert.

I've found a lot of value in Alpine.js and HTMX for front end interactivity and recently I've been really enjoying the ease of maintaining Tailwind styles.

I've also noticed that I'm able to easily throw a tiny bit of custom HTML with Alpine attributes in my markdown-powered CMS-ish system and it just works. No need to make something custom for small one-off situations.

@carlton 👋 Did you start looking at configurable content type parsing? I was thinking about having a look but didn't want to duplicate effort.

I published an introduction to database generated columns, using SQLite and the new GeneratedField added in Django 5.0 🤖

I'd be very happy to have your feedback on my article 🤗

I have a lot of questions, so I'm going to ask you at least one.

Who would like to see running the DSF board and why?

I'm asking that to know more about people but also to make you consider it if you're mentioned.

If it doesn't change anything, at least this will express kind words to someone 💚

A few weeks ago developers purchased a local pub which had quite a bit of character and a long history.

After standing for a few hundred years it suddenly "caught fire" and was demolished.

Amazingly the story is still in the national headlines. Don't think the new owners anticipated how much folk can care about local history.
