I was humbled today. I dared to use a toy javascript framework a month ago thinking it'd make my life easier, but it only cause me pain. The solution was to rip it out and just use vanilla JS.

I can't say enough good things about the django-simple-deploy package. It's so good I decided to make my first post in months

There goes a Canadian QB! Will they make it 2?

I was in the same boat a month ago and it's awesome how far plain CSS has come and where it can get you now compared to ~10 years ago.

Launching the first ever State of Devs survey One more survey… but this one is different!

Why I launched a new, different kind of survey: dev.to/sachagreif/l...

(take the survey here! survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey... )

I spent the weekend playing around with C for the first time since university, and holy moly what a way to see how far I've come.

I used to think the syntax was cumbersome and confusing. bizarre take

i still can't comprehend that car seat headrest released anything after 2014. it breaks my heart, in a purely personal sense of the loss of my younger self.

I've spent the past 2 days doing front-end at work (just html, css, and pure js) and it's amazing how much this stuff has gotten better over the past decade.

just spent an hour swagging out a table with css

touching rust for the first time in 2.5 months felt like uncovering a repressed ancient premordial memory.

shopify is so annoying. I built the discount function I needed to, but man what a pain in the butt that was.

skill issue for sure

the text-only bracket picker is pretty well done. I'm still humming and hawing over what to do for an interface. I'm thinking TUI

I'm really unfamiliar with him, but I was terrified when he made that Linked List metaphor right off the top lol

But yeah other than that he was a solid host 👍

it's a simulation of deep diving into March Madness with 0 context of anything in college basketball, which is what I do every year.

Right now I have the team roster generation and bracket simulation "done", and I want to generate a lot of weird fluff (mock drafts, podcasts, articles).

making a game

I've only listened to soft sounds from another planet, but I've done so 1000 times. Good artist!

spending the morning cleaning a ton of inconsistent address data

:(

the most important aspect of kernel development is to make sure your driver freaks the fuck out whenever the system resumes from sleep

I merged in a big maintenence branch in yesterday and nothing has backfired unexpectedly.

life is great

I was using it while trying out wagtail tonight. from a nearly-blind perspective, it probably hides some typical pypi baggage

venv. you know the thing that isn't as good as uv!

damn, uv blows vent out of the water

you know the taylor swift/elon private jet flight trackers? it'd be cool if someone did something like that with shaq and his league pass account to see how often he watched games

Never bothered to consider straying from venv, but I'll give it a look!

spent the morning getting Sentry up and configured on our web server and holy moley is it a big upgrade over just sending stacktrace emails

i decided to stop being a total bellend and actually learn web design fundamentals
