Adam “Mastodon or Bluesky” Johnson

I'm not posting on here any more. Find me on the butterfly or mammoth sites.

@pyflare @be_haki hehe I started adding blog post links in code snippets so I get free advertising in code bases ;)

@be_haki @AdamChainz @AdamChainz will be proud 🤪

Cool idea by one of my teammates - add a test to check that there are no pending migrations 👌👌👌 If there are pending migrations we forgot to generate, it fails with the output of `manage.py makemigrations --check`.

@JustinMitchel I 'cp -r' an existing package.

@AdamChainz what do you use to automate configuring a new Python/Django package? E.g test dir, sample project, project, etc

@shl @GergelyOrosz I missed the email and this thread nudged me to turn the feature off. I am also horrified that for months my checkout has been adding an extra 20% to the listed price. It feels amateurish, even scammy.

@GergelyOrosz Sorry about that! We did email eventually but wanted to see some data first – 2% increase in sales justifies the default IMO, but (part of why I looked into this data) it may make sense to turn off/include as part of creator onboarding. As always, appreciate the feedback!

We launched tipping on Gumroad last year! Here's what we learned about global tipping habits: 🇺🇸 Americans lead the way - tipping 2.4% on average 🇮🇳 India is in last place – tipping 0.7% on average 🇦🇺 Aussies are feeling generous, tipping 2% (second highest in our data!) 🇳🇱 Dutch are the most frugal Western nation, tipping 0.9% The difference between the highest tipper (US: 2.4%) and lowest (India: 0.7%) is over 3x! 🤯

@MesrenyameDogbe @UC_CECH Congratulations!

2024! The year I #MasteredIT

@DomTecno yes, lots of the tech community have moved

@AdamChainz rlly?

@skumpuntele so many reasons

@AdamChainz why not?

@starenka @djangoproject Ah, fun! There's also a filter implementation in django-extensions, maybe copied from yours?

@AdamChainz @djangoproject hehe, did something similar 6 years ago #pdb--ipdb-template-filters" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/starenka/suckl… (yours look more slick tho)

@John_Sandall RIP Legend

This reminds me of the opening quiz of Hans Rosling’s Factfulness. It’s good to be confronted by your own subjective biases. A poor understanding of the world as it really is can lead to sub-optimal decisions.

✍️ New post introducing using pdb within a Django view. This is an extract from the Debuggers chapter freshly added to Boost Your Django DX. adamj.eu/tech/2024/11/2…
