It's notable that almost every other Django book out there doesn't touch deployment at all. Makes me wonder if I should stop trying to cover it and just move it to a more advanced thing that is separate. Especially now that there isn't a great free option, it's a non-starter for many people apparently based on feedback I've gotten.

@wsvincent Obey the Testing Goat was super helpful for me back in the day.

Okay serious question: Do we think there's a place for autoethnographic research in ?

From "Toward a Moderate Autoethnography" by Sarah Stahlke Wall:

"Autoethnography is an avant-garde method of qualitative inquiry that has captured the attention of an ever-increasing number of scholars from a variety of disciplines."

@KFosterMarks I’m not entirely sure if software engineers on the whole have enough reflexivity about their daily experiences to produce autoethnography vs. say, just talking about themselves l, which most are certainly capable of 😭. Though I think of someone like @marick as doing something that feels pretty close!

@KFosterMarks as someone who spent a lot of time in grad school deep in the science studies literature thinking a lot about the work it takes to produce knowledge and the effects that work produces, I was quite (pleasantly) surprised how prepared I was for the modern workplace when I transitioned to software. Oh look, there is some theory playing out over there is an almost everyday occurrence.

Ever thought dependency injection is over-engineering that needs a framework? Or that loose coupling is an obnoxious complication for architecture astronauts? I’m offering a different perspective in my new video:

Loose Coupling & Dependency Injection the EASY Way!

Please help it get started by telling the algorithm what's what! 🙏 https://youtu.be/uWTvMCra-_Y

@hynek fantastic content! And very watchable. Maybe you can make mic punching your “catch phrase”? I’ve been trying to make the case for this type of design with my team recently and am excited to share and discuss this.

@inquiline @stsing @sts Star’s ethnography of infrastructure is something that clicked for me when I first read it. The chapter on the ICD in Sorting Things Out is also great.
