After years of complaining, I finally got a work-issued MacBook to replace my Windows machine and I couldn’t be happier or more productive. Amazed by how slow Windows runs Microsoft products like Office.

every SQL, a sonnet ❤️💐

demoing a new Django app for my enterprise coworkers is always fun. I try to guess how long before someone asks “can I save that to excel?”

Today it was 7mins. My answer ”of course you can, click this one button” (the only acceptable answer to that question imo) #django #DelightYourCustomers

Picture it, 2026, you, an experienced Django dev giggle in delight when you see the tech stack and cool shit we're building.

Everything in this article is spot on. I could add even more frustrations - but instead, I’ll just continue to build my workarounds like the python script I use to dump outlook email to duckdb so I can actually find what the heck I’m searching for. 🙄

Whenever meeting new friends I like to start out “Hi my name is Jay. What you do believe about the nature of the universe?”

Teradata connector 🥰🥰🥰🥰 omg Im so happy.

Every time I’m given a nonsensical, impractical, hallucinated code suggestion that doesn’t work, I wonder how many bottles of water it took to cool the GPUs, and then I weep a bit for the planet.

bye paramount. Fuck you for kneeling to the orange turd.

It’s a find-your-meds-in-your-pocket-at-noon kind of Monday.

__iexact solved this, but I swear regular equals was working when it wasn’t a nested array.

Working out at what is an predominantly 🏳️‍🌈 leaning gym is an amazing validating experience that every homo and queer should get to experience.

What software puzzle are you ponding this holiday weekend?

For me, I can’t figure out why I get zero results from:

Model.objects.filter(array_of_arrays=my_array_of_arrays)

*Yet*, if I take it’s .query/ and paste into pgsql, BOOM I get results.

I’m taking a PTO day 🍿🤓

If I tell an AI to keep reply brief, does that result in a lower power consumption?

Can’t see bc I’m not on mastodon but check out Bakersfield Tacos has amazing vegan food and is close to the convention center.

T minus 9mins before this hunk of windows (10) garbage corporate laptop reboots and updates to windows 11. Tomorrow might just be a mental health day to grieve.

Me: “🤷 coulda had an SQL on the backend but we’re on that microservices bullshit right now”

I really really want to submit my first proposal on dynamic Django forms using htmx but I’ve been procrastinating.

Today, on out of pocket things I’ve done with Duckdb - injesting the entire content of my Outlook file so I can supplement advanced features not found in Outlook. Like the ability to search for and find an email. 🙄

Some say hacky, some say creative.

I've had a lot of fun refreshing the page, and getting a new random link to explore. Haven't had this much fun since 1995.

Came here to say the same - Excel approach.

Ooooh thank ya! looks lovely! I'll try it out soon!

ahhh thanks for the explanation!

On my windows machine, I’m behind a proxy, so all extensions are downloaded locally and then I set extension directory.

call start_ui() opens the browser, but I get a 500 error.

Do I need something other than the ui extension?
