- Django Design Patterns and Best Practices
- Django: Web Development with Python
- Learning Django Web Development
- Mastering Django: Core

"As you can see this admin UI is… brutally developer-focused" 🤣 @tomd.org at #WagtailSpace talking about Mux, the "ffmpeg in the cloud"

Hope #WagtailSpace attendees liked my presentation! Recording is available already if you register at wagtail.org/wagtail-spac.... Slides are here: wagtail.org/sow

Screenshot of Safari Elements panel with shadow DOM HTML for video element

Is it a new thing that macOS "find and select text in images" also makes that text available… for the VoiceOver screen reader. That’s an #accessibility feature right, not a bug? Spotted on the @wagtail homepage video: wagtail.org

wagtail-ai vs django-ai-core contribution graphs in GitHub, showing a spike in wagtail-ai followed by slowdown, while django-ai-core has a spike starting right after

Ooh @usher.dev @laymonage.com there’s a little story right there via the commit activity graphs!

Guidance for AI-led contributions | Wagtail CMS New contributor guidelines in the generative AI age

Heads’up – we have new guidance for AI-led contributions from our core team: wagtail.org/blog/guidanc... TL;DR; let us know how AI is involved in PRs with a disclaimer!

Sage on stage with a slide "Wagtail UI for U and I … and AI

OH @laymonage.com "I wish I could npm install wagtail" 💥 at the @torchbox tech day

Another option I’ve seen occasionally is "ask people to run your analysis script on their projects and share results". Yet another type of bias in the data so not suitable for much of anything. Anyway, I think "top 8000 PyPI" is a pretty good pick for this specific analysis! ⭐️ ty for the context

re corporate codebases, I guess the simplest I’d have thought is open source code on GitHub? Select repos on GitHub based on number of stars or activity levels. I have a small dataset of @wagtail.org projects for that reason.

ty! yeah my assumption is packages probs have more scrutiny on avg than apps, so probs if your analysis shows a clear enough problem with top packages, it’d only be worse with other packages, and with apps? No hard data to validate my assumption but seems intuitive enough.

I really liked your talk, hope it’s ok to ask a bonus question! I wanted to ask how/why you selected the code of the "top 8000 PyPI packages" as a dataset to analyze? Why PyPI packages and why top 8000? Feels valid but skewed towards packages, and specifically ones that have more scrutiny than avg

one of the questions Jake got started with "this isn’t a question more of a comment" 💯💥 someone knows what they’re doing
