$400,000,000,000 revenue, 2025. $650 million is a rounding error.

It's not that you can't "build a sane architecture" as much as it is difficult to justify the time spent to do this when you can "bang out features" in 10 minutes that would take d…

You are absolutely not alone, brother (or sister). In the past few years when a lot of the millennial generation started getting their first jobs, the shiny object syndrome took ov…

This! It absolutely boggles my mind that nothing else exists to fill this spot. Fly and others offer varying degrees of easier-than-AWS hosting, but nobody offers true PaaS like He…

It's honestly just an example of ego and coping. These people are trading temporary gains in pseudo-productivity for training their replacements and atrophying their skills. The tr…

Pardon my huge voice-to-text comment ^

I've had the misfortune of working in FastAPI a number of times, and, as somebody who has been using Django since 2008, Django developers have no idea how spoiled they are to have …

This is the most correct comment I've ever come across.

Another great one from Tonsky: https://tonsky.me/blog/disenchantment/

IMHO, the "new generation" of designers is the problem. Same goes for the "new generation" of developers. Want to make a basic HTML page with a contact form? Better get React + 300…

Yeah it's crazy, people use Django and they think the things that are making them productive are all these little contribs and built-ins, but the reality is it's the solid foundati…

Try RQ.

I agree, type annotations need work. I just use stubs and then I have some rules to set some of the more common ones to be warnings instead of errors, and then I just deal with the…

I sometimes think that the direction web development took is like some kind of bad dream that we will wake up from. It's unbelievable to me. The problems we faced before SPAs were …

I see a lot of people in here talking about the "batteries included" aspect of Django, as if that's where it really shines. those batteries are definitely helpful, but the biggest …

Putting your comment into simpler terms reveals the nature of your thinking: When you were doing good you were sure it was your fault, but when you were doing bad you were sure tha…

I know from the inside it feels like nothing is wrong, but if you're looking at the EU as a whole from the outside, the economies there have been coming apart for many years. You c…

This, 100%. So many of the basic features (e.g., automatic Python venv, Pyright running, etc.) have random bugs that pop up from time to time, making the basic editor unreliable. M…

Literally this. I'm typing this on an iPhone SE 2022 (the last one with a home button). I'm done with iPhone as soon as I am no longer able to use this model. I don't like the new,…

There is an extreme difference between outsourcing physical difficulties to mechanical advantages, and outsourcing your brain to a large corporation that is stealing all of the IP …

One of the biggest beefs I have with AI in the workplace is that LLM coding does not discourage large piles of code, since the output is instantaneous. Instead of having to type ou…

Dealing with this exact scenario, right now. My company has implemented an unnecessarily complex spiderweb of services and the litany of problems that go along with it, in anticipa…

It's hard for nupeople to understand that people from our generations learned how to do things and to use our brains. The younger tech folks only do things that the computer automa…
