When lock down started last year, I began work on a project I've been thinking about for a while.
It's a PaaS (like Heroku) you can run on your AWS account.

Today's #LunchTalk is @ipmb's @djangocon talk, “High Performance Django at Ten: Old Tricks & New Picks”.
better-simple.com/lunch-talks/20…
You should watch this if you are interested in:
- Scaling your Django application
- DevOps for Django applications

@evilsocket Always baffles me... what is happening in the background to make this so slow? You'd think this would happen at close to "start a container" speeds. Even spinning up an EC2 instance doesn't take this long.
It's not "rack a new server" timeframe, but feels close sometimes😆

@notnotstorm Meanwhile yesterday I did:
- uv init new-project
- uv pip install ....few dependencies
It doesn't sync directly to pyproject toml file... Nothing's solved. I had to add everything to requirements.txt from uv & then copy to toml file.
English
PSA if you haven't used python in the past 5 years it's a completely new language now
- uv solved the package management problems entirely
- mypy type checks have become actually useful
- cpython is now much faster
- polars + fastapi + ruff replaced pandas + flask + black

@simonw @TheAndresRosa Don’t remember where I saw this take, but I like it: Software will be cheaper to produce. Basic economics would say that if the price of a good goes down, demand will go up.
I can definitely see custom software getting built at companies that otherwise couldn’t afford it.
English
@TheAndresRosa My hope is that these tools make software developers /more/ valuable, because now you can hire us and we can build more stuff for you!
We might even see companies that didn't used to hire developers at all start employing developers to build them custom software solutions

I scraped the schedule for @OpenSauceLive this morning and built this alternative schedule interface that includes the option to add everything to your calendar (via ICS)... working entirely on my iPhone, using OpenAI Codex and Claude Artifacts

@mitsuhiko AWS has all the services, but cross-service developer experience doesn’t seem like a big priority for them. The additional layer is a necessity unless you want to learn it all from the ground up.
I’ve spent a lot of time in this space with @apppackio if you ever want to chat.
English
I'm sorry but no tool I tried to far makes building against AWS services particularly fun. They just pile more and more layers of complexity on top :(

@treyhunner Here’s another one to add to your list github.com/SmileyChris/dj…

I wrote up a blog post demonstrating my reason for starting to use django-cotton.
In short: when I want an include that can accept one or more blocks of HTML, I'll use a component instead.

Every time we separate compute from storage, we bring it back together it seems. And then we do it again a decade later.

@mitsuhiko You might find aider.chat interesting. I have only played around with it a little, but got solid results.
English
Turns out the biggest improvement in results is giving the detector way more context. Ideally the entire file. Might need to rethink my approach entirely. x.com/mitsuhiko/stat…

I'm incredibly excited about AI, at the same time I find it incredibly frustrating trying to build something leveraging it. What do I need to read to learn and study so that I figure out how to actually do something useful with it?
English
@ericholscher I think about this a lot. Many people come to the conclusion that you shouldn’t sell/retire early, but I think the real lesson is to maintain an identity outside of your work/company.
English
Another post today about identity and retirement. I've seen a lot of folks in my life retire and lose a lot of the meaning in their life because of work being their primary identity.

@thesamparr Alternate perspective: family heirlooms can be a burden. Especially big ones. Is your daughter going to want to lug this thing around as she moves through life? Is she going to feel guilty getting rid of it? Will her kid feel guilty getting rid of it?

Well deserved! Congrats @Rachell_Calhoun and thanks for everything you do for the community!

I was having a conversation with Claude about unconventional things to do in the SF Bay Area and I got a bit suspicious so I prompted "Are you sure all of those are real? I think you made some of those up."

Surprised a beer brand hasn’t taken advantage of people calling themselves “lightweights” and made an ultra light low alcohol beer called Lightweight.

@simonw I'm really hoping there's a future where we can have our cake and eat it too with something like @tursodatabase.
Scaling to zero saves money and reduces environmental impact.
Automatic failover means we don't get paged in the middle of the night when things inevitably fail.

This is such a great talk about SQLite as a production-ready backend for web applications, and one of the best examples I've seen yet of an annotated presentation to accompany a video

Curious, so I had to check [the box]. My account goes back 19 years, possibly even before Matt was post-economic.

I did manage to log in. Amazingly, this database has held my profile for 17 years. I'm a huge supporter of open source, and I find this situation pretty sad for everyone involved. I hope this issue can be sorted out in a level-headed way and the WP community comes out stronger
