Using htmx + Django, watch out for expired session request, you might get login pages injected in small table cells.

Here's the simple fix I came up with:

+1. This has my experience so far.

Honest reflections from coding with AI so far as a non-engineer:

It can get you 70% of the way there, but that last 30% is frustrating. It keeps taking one step forward and two steps backward with new bugs, issues, etc.

If I knew how the code worked I could probably fix it myself. But since I don't, I question if I'm actually learning that much.

Congrats to @djangoproject for getting 80K @github stars! 🥳🍰

It's the most starred backend framework... not only in Python, but in all programming languages! 😎🎉

@ratixyz @ArcMembership I've been facing the same. It got fixed for in the last couple of day. It could be an also an OS quirk.

[Cory House @housecor]

If coding is hard, we're probably trying to move to fast.

Signs we're trying to move too fast:
🚫 Rework
🚫 Inconsistency
🚫 Unclear tickets
🚫 Bad requirements
🚫 Weak code reviews
🚫 Rampant copy/paste
🚫 Poor communication
🚫 Few/no automated quality checks

It took ~8yrs to go from v0 to v1 of python-dotenv, now used/recommended by flask, ray, pyenv, and uvicorn.

The decision to have it do just one thing and do it well is a big part of its success. Also, please don’t break the APIs; people hate it.

People with an income of 9L paying 2L in rent and getting 1.5L deduction under 80c and 50k under standard deduction were not paying any taxes in old regime.

Now they will pay 45000 tax in new regime.

Few understand this.

The TypeScript 5 beta removed an unused 26.3 MB of JS making it smaller than TypeScript 3 🤯

Pro tip: you can track bloat over time using Package Phobia 💚

Following the ChatGPT, a new generation of coding-support tool will emerge.

Once they get popular, writing code will be easier and faster. Then aligning on *what* exactly we want to build and *why* we build it will become more important than the actual building phase.

@RohitYadavCloud Give 11ty a try. Its very minimal to begin with, and capable of growing as you needs grow.

If you don’t indent to do much customisation, then prioritise getting a good theme, framework won’t matter a lot.

Encourage questioning, do a short project/exercises that require exploring new things, and do sharing sessions. 🙏🏼🧠

[Saurabh Kumar @_theskumar]

Having a culture of curiosity in your team will break the monotony of grunt work. Feeds into the creative side. Builds psychological safety. Exploring and trying new things comes with the assumption of failures and having an open mind.

[Saurabh Kumar @_theskumar]

As I moved to more senior roles, I had to explain many complex concepts to technical and non-technical people. I found better your diagramming and visualization skills are; there is a better chance of engagement and participation from others. Do more diagrams!

It was such a pleasure meeting with you @addyosmani today at #leadingEng. Thanks for your amazing talk and also sharing some valuable insights.

Somewhat of a rant, but I really want to talk about UPI and ONDC, and especially the "digital infrastructure" of the country that the techno-sanghis have been using as the backbone for a patriotism-flavoured Twitter clout-farming of late.

[Saurabh Kumar @_theskumar]

Should you tell your boss, you are doing a crazy amount of overtime.

TLDR; Yes.
