It doesn't derail them, except for them not finding a new job and many being unfortunate enough to lose their old one. Instead many jobs are taken by "AI engineers", glorified prom…

The issue will be "out of sight, out of mind" (or rather knowingly ignored) until the issue appears at scales as small as the home village, which in terms of the US government mean…

I have yet to see a good design falling out of people building flying castles in Figma, disconnected from the realities and basics of web development's languages HTML and CSS.

Ninja is quite a heavyweight in terms of dependencies (depends on Pydantic, which is itself heavyweight). Not everyone wants that in their project.

Sometimes I find the examples lacking a bit. For example: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/6.0/ref/class-based-views/... Each view deserves an example, that uses the most relevant…

How do your API calls get into the Django app(s)? Do you define the API as well on the Django side (duplicating the API)? Or is there some tool that translates the Rust API calls f…

I find those double underscore kwargs weird too, and would prefer to simply pass a lambda instead. What is your idea, what would you suggest?

What I like about Django are the following things: (1) It seems whenever I need to adjust how something works, there is some field or method, that I can override, or meta class att…

Ah, what a pleasure to imagine that scenario, however unlikely, for just a few seconds. People profiting from running unethical ads and child sexual abuse material, for whom financ…

They were not trustworthy years ago already. Using Atlassian products, one has had to look out for disastrous announcements about their customer data usage way before 18 months ago…

> But in Germany, there is also an education system to become Geselle, Meister, Techniker, Fachwirt --- things that many other countries don't have. And somehow people always ignor…

Do you know, that by now Switzerland frequently refuses German trains to enter the country, because of delays? They don't want Deutsche Bahn mismanagement and delays to affect thei…

I just copied the term from the parent post of my earlier post. In German I would have chosen "Auslaenderfeindlichkeit", which might fit a bit better. And yes, it can be irrational…

Well, we sold our most prestigious film making location to the US fairly recently, a few years ago (Filmstudio Babelsberg). Not much good has happened to it since then. Admittedly,…

Germany has been shifting wealth from middle class and lower class to the rich for a long time now and is at the forefront of inequality increase in Europe. All the xenophobia and …

Yes, if one compares in the downward direction of living standards, there are many countries doing worse, no doubt. It is also a fact however, that we massively neglect our educati…

Well, what did we expect from the clowns we elected, when few of them ever worked an actual job? Election after election, we are voting for the same incompetent corrupt people. Rea…

What exactly is there to figure out or what would you like them to figure out?

I wouldn't even write such a class name. It smells like bad styling and layouting already. A CSS class should convey some semantic meaning. I would name it after the thing that sho…

I know what you mean. But somehow that doesn't bother me. In fact it forces me to think about consistency of the design and often makes me think of a more general schema and simpli…

OK, China will do it in 5 years then.

Yeah, supporting Israel as we do is also insane. By that I mean delivering weapons so that they can continue their wars against their neighbors, their genocide, and their illegal, …

The HTML + CSS first approach and JS only for enrichment sounds great, and like what should be done anyway. I wonder though, how it will play out in reality. Will web developers us…

I remember having tried these on Gitlab a few years ago. One PR depending on another, depending on another ... It didn't ultimately make for a good experience. Partly that was due …

So many things on Github are now broken or utterly unusable, that this comment is not wrong. I mean even the code viewer/display is utterly broken and doesn't even perform standard…
