A single test of a Django model manager that took me maybe 10 minutes to write just saved my butt from at least an hour of debugging why the logic was reversed.

About to introduce my youngest two to one of my favorite movies. They’ll probably hate it.

@josh ah I remember the Blipping phase. Fondly actually. Have a memory of cooking and hearing it, seeing him and wondering if my kid was watching some weirdo. Then I saw the video was posted a day ago and had a million views. Then I started to doubt my career choices.

@greg similar level of seriousness. You and your wife won’t be disappointed and if you don’t laugh a few times you might wanna get checked out.

This one cuts deep:
The modern condition is mostly trying to do things on your own that people have historically achieved with a large support network and wondering why you're tired all the time.

Keeping your naming consistent throughout a codebase is one of the more overlooked sources of bugs and low productivity.

Singular vs plural.
updated vs updated_at vs modified, etc.

Pick something and freaking stick to it EVERYWHERE!!!

@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@adamchainz no but I think it's a great idea on the singular models. I haven't seen on however.

@szakib exactly!

@boxed hahaha yeah I didn’t word that well

Friends who joined Mastodon ~8 months ago and decided to jump feet-first into a managed or self-hosted solo-instance — @danhon, @ken, @simon, @dansinker, @ben (who else do I know who did this?) — any retrospective worth sharing at this point? Thinking about things like patching... scaling... cost... discovery... anxiety hosting unpredictable content... blocking unsavory instances... managed services in various non-US countries... what else? Good choice overall?

@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@John @MattHodges same, have been very happy with Masto

If the future of computers is AI, is the future of devops command prompt engineering?

Exercising late in the day (like, within an hour or two of bedtime): worth doing, or is there too much potential for sleep disruption (ie too wired to fall asleep on time)? 🤔

frank,
@frank@frankwiles.social avatar

@bitprophet try it and see! I used to work out late in my late 20s and didn’t find it hard to sleep but then again was in my late 20s.
