I have some thoughts about a #Django homepage redesign. Anyone interested on working on it with me? forum.djangoproject.com/t/want-to-wo...

This weekend we’re at #PyConUK 🐝, as sponsors and with a booth - come say hi to our volunteers!

I packed up 20 sticker packs (designed by @sjbitcode.bsky.social!) the other day and mailed them halfway across the world. 💚 Hoping people like them and that we can help do our small part in celebrating the #Django 20th birthday in as many places as possible! 🎂

Ep185 DjangoCon US Recap is live! We're back after the summer break, discussing @djangocon.us last week, Django 6.0 feature freeze, adding APIs to core Django, and Django on the Med next month. djangochat.com/episodes/dja...

@sjbitcode.bsky.social and I are working on beesocial.dev, a site where techies can show off all the things they work on, follow others, and get inspiration. 🐝 We are giving away a special t-shirt (ex. www.redbubble.com/people/sjbit...) to one lucky winner who signs up and submits feedback to us. ✨

It's official - `django.tasks` exists! Coming soon to @djangoproject.com 6.0. 585 days later, the first step (of many) in Django's background tasks journey is finally complete! 🥳 theorangeone.net/posts/django...

Stranger Things on Broadway was absolutely spectacular 👏 Sooo many cool special effects, amazing cast, references to the main storyline...and jumpscares! 🫣 10/10 would recommend if you're a fan of the Netflix show! #StrangerThings #TheFirstShadow #broadway

beesocial.dev now offers link and collection sorting! 🥳 Drag and drop links and collections around on the edit page to arrange them in any order you like! 💥

Released 0.1.1 of `troml`, a tool that suggests classifiers, i.e. pypi.org/classifiers/, for #Python packages. It looks at `project.python-requires` and dependencies in `pyproject.toml`, and for a `py.typed` file. ⚙️ github.com/adamghill/tr... 📦 pypi.org/project/troml/

🕸️ Just released django-htmx 1.24.1, which bundles htmx 2.0.7 that came out earlier today. This is a small but valuable bugfix release! github.com/bigskysoftwa... #django #htmx

Sometimes the best engineering happens when you’re just tinkering, free from expectations and deadlines.

I just tried the chatgpt trend “based on what you know about me. draw a picture of what you think my current life looks like” and although I'm not sure where I am in this picture (maybe the dude with the box?) I am pleased that it knew about the Django stickers! 😆
