New CVE just dropped…

“Sorry, can’t hang out, I’m busy…”

#django as an experimental/PoC app incubator: deploy a single Django instance and use the app functionality to easily "host" separate one-off/experimental apps. Then, when an app proves viable, extract and deploy it in it’s own Django instance. Pros: simply “startapp” to go from idea to live […]

Went to a concert, left with a book!👌🏼

Late night study.

What do users/clients really need when they ask for a dynamic filtering dropdown that displays only the choices present in the response vs all possible choices? Are they actually/only interested in, in this case, seeing which orders are paid, shipped and received? If so, would it make (more) […]

I’m finally starting to see the appeal of tabs (vs. spaces) while making *squints* slides for a presentation…

Really like the idea to move type declarations to the comments and keep the code itself clean. https://intuitivefuture.com/@vanillaweb/115654180217686472

“Why am I so tired all the time…” 🫨😴

Pinging fellow Mastodon instance admins! I’d like to start/continue a public/private discussion with members of my instance (to discuss how to address the rising hosting costs e.g. crowdfund, delete old posts, etc.). What’s the best way to reach everybody? The last time this was relevant I […]

This is what “propping up the regime/system/status quo” looks like.

I’m looking for a (paid) Mermaid diagram viewer. “Charting” in PyCharm/Rider works pretty well (bar support for new features) but viewing large (sequence) diagrams is tough as I can’t zoom in. My ideal viewer has butter smooth zoom and a way to show the entities on top/bottom so I know what […]

I like! https://social.wildeboer.net/@jwildeboer/115629149904833195

Andy and co. are making (for) the web we’re all longing for right now. Do check them out. https://mastodon.social/@belldotbz/115622586034441450

Look at that beautiful URL! https://social.edu.nl/@Bibliothecaris/115622191356250599

“We need to talk more about people like Justin. The dominant narrative in tech insists that innovation requires massive teams, enormous budgets, growth-at-all-costs thinking, dudes hustling, venture capital destroying dreams, ads injected into everything, and a lethal dose of AI. But here's […]

Despite all global warming odds winter’s arrived in NL and I’m having a blast (not feeling with fingers after a short walk outside)!

Saw the ReMarkble in a MediaMarkt today (don’t ask) and found it a bit… underwhelming. There’s something about hype vs. reality in there but I can’t fully crystallize it yet.

Hello #fosdem crowd. If you know someone attending 2026 who creates some form of an #openart - under a free license, let them know that there could be a small community gathering for them. Theater producers, visual artists, actors, musicians, painters, photographers and more and more are […]

Dipped a toe in the Warhammer 40K universe and learned about the tech-priests who can’t research new tech but only maintain/build existing designs, and how they pray to the Machine God to bless the machines and keep them running. “For instance, even the theoretically simple process of […]

Took the kids to the local Games Workshop two weeks ago and bought 3 Space Marines and some paint. We painted them guys blue real quick and now I’m craving more. Instead of instantly getting more war loving/violent and _expensive_ kits RIGHT NOW! I’m […] [Original post on indiehackers.social]

✏️🔴 Took the youngest nerd to cast a #nerdvote in the Dutch elections.

Hi, hello! I'm open to a new web dev contract, either a short burst (good for getting a project past logjams), or part-time longer term. Semantic HTML, modular CSS, modern JavaScript, Ruby, API integrations, the works. I'm looking to make a major impact on a team with high-stakes full-stack […]

This is brilliant stuff. Refreshing to see communication and collaboration topics in a tech/dev course. https://front-end.social/@piccalilli/115457028232838967

Let’s come together for the @ThePSF and show the world what we want to exist! I’m not eligible for the matching (I already donated) but 🫵 are. https://mastodon.social/@glyph/115453574272465088

In light of the PSF's recent loss of an NSF grant and attendant funding shortfall, I will be matching donations up to $5000. Send me your receipts. Very happy if you've already donated for similar reasons but the point is to motivate *new* donations so be sure the timestamp is after this toot 😉.

“It's about nourishing others as if they are living like you are, as a practical movement towards using our collective power to grow a world we intentionally want to see more of.” I want to see more of the @ThePSF and @warandpeas and therefore donated and became a member, respectively […]

Wordpress plug-ins are the OG node_modules.

“This is not about an attempt to kill certain companies. It's less naive, and quieter, and more pragmatic than that. It's about nourishing others as if they are living like you are, as a practical movement towards using our collective power to grow a world we intentionally want to see more of […]

2 unfollows for every follow. Trim it.

Younger me, with all the time in the world: who needs courses, you can learn web dev on your won. Me, today: I want structured, focused and to-the-point courses, yesterday.

It’s not rocket science, but it is two weeks of someone’s life. Don’t downplay or diminish it.

My “swim or hack-on-side-projects” dice seems to have 5 “swim” and only one “hack” side… 🥲

Saw one of the new Polestar models. It had a rear-facing camera instead of a translucent back window, and a camera on each side. It looked like a bunker on wheels.

After a week of genAI-assisted development and project management-y stuff it feels good to hack on my hobby projects again. Compared to programming, genAI-assisted dev feels like bending spoons with my mind. Touching code brings clarity, learning, understanding and laser-sharp focus.

Litestar's HTMX support is 👌🏼 https://docs.litestar.dev/2/usage/htmx.html.

I’m looking for a #django cookiecutter/starter pack that gives me email auth and (u)uids as primary keys out of the 📦. I can of course vibe it but am curious to hear about your favorite Django kickstarter packages.

genAI as a product is brilliant because as its owner you’re 1) not responsible for its mistakes and 2) you charge for every attempt to fix them. Imagine a restaurant were they serve you the wrong food, blame you for placing a bad order and charge you for every roundtrip to the kitchen that may […]

Designed a 3-piece medal for a triathlon race in Primorso, Bulgaria. It combines ancient Thracian symbols along with 10 years of design history (of said race). Finishers and visitors alike were amazed and pleasantly surprised by the 10 year anniversary […] [Original post on mograph.social]

@fastmail I just want to say how *incredibly grateful* I am that your services continues to get better and provide tremendous value, year in and year out. And bonus: how fantastic it is that you do all that without a single mention of AI anywhere. I pray that continues to be the case long into […]

TFW your body is screaming for junk food and you go No, I won’t give you, and it goes Please, bro, I promise I’ll make you feel good afterwards, and you do it and it’s gross, and your body goes Great, now we did all that jogging and swimming for nothin’! Boo!

Poetry as compressed journaling during holiday trips?

Completely in love with Kottarashky’s Doghouse album https://open.qobuz.com/album/t5kduswtrnhyb Experimental Balkan sounds and vibes to the 💯!

Make computers fun again.

To combat the heat I closed all the shades, blinds, windows, curtains, doors, etc. It feels like the January/February winter darkness depression all over again. 🙃
