@dr Also, for the record, I would 100% have bought a Django course or boilerplate from you. I always wondered why you didn’t venture into the info products space, because I think you’d kill it there. You’re a really good writer and have a chill vibe on podcasts which is v refreshing

@dr Hey @dr, just wanna say, you’ve been a big inspiration to me! I don’t think I would have been inspired to learn how to code without coming across your blog/tweets (came across them when I was trying to set up a Ghost site a while ago, and I bought one of your templates as well).

My Saturday: • early hour practice session at the football pitch with my son • home cleaning • quick trip to IKEA • reading in the sun • second guessing everything I've done in my career so far 😅

‘Now appoint Gareth Southgate as the United manager’

Chuffed with this, but to appease the sceptics I think @BBCNews needs to commission a special episode of Who Do You Think You Are and find out he’s related to Anne Boleyn or something

Honestly - a smeg toaster

this model of jobs and status via @matt_levine brilliant

@levelsio @vercel This is the # 1 reason I don’t use Vercel. If they had max spend limits I’d switch in a heartbeat

What I wanna know Why isn't max $$$ spend limit on @Vercel enabled by default for new accounts? It isn't right?

The Rt Hon Jordan Pickford MP @JPickford1 has been appointed Secretary of State for Defence @DefenceHQ.

After Joe Biden’s disastrous performance, panicking Democrats are considering an approach to a replacement candidate with better communication skills

Data Science for Schools, Part 2: Student Electives Allocation with Python Time to stop relying on `allocations_final_FINALv2.xlsx` 🖋️ by @matt_chapma buff.ly/3VT2FyL

after 2 days of experimenting, I gotta say: claude 3.5 sonnet is way better than gpt-4 at explaining code When I ask gpts to explain a concept, it’s so verbose and generic. Claude feels much more personalised/concise

@render if I switch to the £7/month starter plan, is that the max I will pay or the minimum I will pay? I’m concerned about getting DDoSed and getting some huge bill

This is the kind of life advice I will passing onto my kids

There’s somebody out there right now drafting a LinkedIn post and relating it to Jude Bellingham. #england #EURO2024

We need this for @djangoproject! Django is unbelievably amazing but many overlook it because the docs have an old fashioned style

How do you guys do it? Do you use Medium data to inform what you write? Or do you think the algorithm is just too random to know how well something will do? 🤔

I’ve spent hours crafting stories that I think will be surefire winners that end up getting next-to-no views. And others that I’ve bashed out in 30 mins that end up being my most popular pieces.

I love @Medium, but even after writing 40 stories over the last year I still have no clue how something is going to perform before I press ‘Publish’: 🧵
