@rassie_dot_dev fly.io, vercel ?

@KateFZA Reading is still reading if it’s audiobooks and that’s easier to consumer for some brains

An acquaintance was asking me (who she knows to be a big reader) how to encourage her young-teen daughter to read. And all I have is: model it (we were a family of readers) and don’t police what she reads. What would be your advice? And drop book recommendations below please.

@zeeg @JohnRodkey Django + Ninja if it's ORM and all, FastAPI if it's just glue

@JohnRodkey ive mostly just used GCP for real projects

Do I rewrite 10k LOC from Node.js to.. idk Django? FastAPI? to make life more pleasant? Certainly that can't take more than a few hours

@ali_hen it's old but triple town is also a gem

I deleted Slack and my work email off my devices for my holiday, and downloaded Candy Crush instead. I didn’t realise how therapeutic smashing some candy would be. Tetris has the same effect too.

@rassie_dot_dev @ali_hen Nah what you want is ah.nl/producten/prod… or ah.nl/producten/prod… You can buy stroopwafels at woolworths :p

officially on holiday 🥹

I'm ecstatic to announce my NEW book A FIELD GUIDE TO THE SNAKES & OTHER REPTILES OF THE WESTERN CAPE is now available exclusively on my website Limited quantities now AVAILABLE! tyroneping.co.za/product/a-fiel…

@GillCoup @ali_hen ^^^^^

@ali_hen Sir. Go home.

unbearable headache, back pain, not enough sleep. i need a break

What’s your best load shedding hack?

@ali_hen that final strip of road has crushed many a soul

and for balance, a man about to burst into tears that desperately just wants a toilet (Knysna Forest Half Marathon 2019)

I couldn’t afford to buy my Two Oceans race photos as a student in 2014, but things are different now and you get to see what I looked like running a race I didn’t train for 😂

@ali_hen 🇳🇱

what I actually need is a holiday/break/reset my broken head, not another project

@zeeg tRPC inside express/fastify/etc.

Your favorite API focused Node approach? Just express and throw code at it?

@zeeg Favourite non-negotiable tech product

The stats on MAU for Sentry are insane. So many accounts with huge active memberships for such an affordable price point. A business person would look at it as revenue opportunity, but all I see is customers actually using our product ♥️

@GillCoup "not my circus, not my monkeys, let's change that"

I say “not my circus, not my monkeys” an awful lot for someone who volunteers as monkey handler for every circus she passes by.

The four pillars of observability: tracing, metrics, logs, and drama

@GillCoup @rassie_dot_dev

@rassie_dot_dev My hot take is that in the big packets Nik Naks are better, and in the small packets Cheas Naks are better. I can’t explain why 🤷🏼‍♀️

@TaineMcLean Bone conducting, you say?

@ali_hen for shame

@darb I said what I said, I want my email pushed (in certain circumstances)

Are there any good iOS mail apps? Stock iOS Mail has no native push for mail, and Gmail seems like it’s stuck in 2019.

@TashJoeZA I know this sounds silly, but *saying out loud* an antidote, like "I'm ready, and have enough time to do <work>" a few times, or grab another person to speak it to. Or mantras like "It's not as bad as i think it is", "I don't have enough information to be this worried".

It's time to announce the first Keynote of DjangoCon Europe 2022: "Scaling from One to Billions" by Daniel Roy Greenfeld (@pydanny) 🙌 🎫2022.djangocon.eu/tickets/
