    My wife has a masters degree in marketing. She ditched the desk job to become a dog breeder. She's never going to have desk job ever again. After a few years she asked me to build …

    I run an online marketplace. It's a constant battle against scammers putting up fake items to sell. While I do run "content moderation" to identify the scams, the fakes are identic…

    My website was built in the 1.x version days and I don't think there have been any material breaking changes. My website is moderate in complexity... authentication, database, form…

    It is not a meme. Rescue dogs often have issues. While not all, probably >50% in my personal ~10 dog sample size. At 50% it is worth a warning to new dog owners and shouldn't be ou…

    I used to live in an area with lots of apartment buildings and had to babysit a friends dog for a couple of weeks. I met a couple of people when I took the dog out at 6:30am becaus…

    Yeah, the magic is a big problem for me. When I was a absolute beginner, even knowing which magic (ruby gems) to pick was a problem. In contrast, Django has all of the functionalit…
