One thing I wish existed and think could vastly improve working with Django templates would be an LSP. I can see it now — go to definition on a templatetag taking you to the {% load %} tag that brings...

I hope something like this either exists or someone else is working on, because I do NOT have the time for yet another side project 🤣

Some days I really love my job and some days I wonder why I even try. Today was the latter 😞

“Can’t we just go back to the old app” — the person that said this probably didn’t mean it to be as harsh as I took it, but it was a really demoralizing thing to hear. Especially since I’ve been...

On top of being the dev, ops, DevOps, QA, designer, project manager, system architect, supervisor — and doing an okay job most days juggling all of that — but hearing that statement and dealing with...

Minimal repro in a public gist as a sanity check -- https://gist.github.com/joshuadavidthomas/f4bf90790d5d8ca11ad378f4b042d73aBased on reading the Typer docs, they both should work the same, but they...

I’m putting both the project and the virtualenv are in the path and when I call `django.setup()` the server just crashes. Even with a try catch, nothing.. no logs, no prints, just quits right there...

Confusingly, if I use separate terminals (I normally use tmux windows) the debug messages I put after `django.setup()` to send from the lsp server to the client actually show up. The setup call still...

Spent the morning playing with HTMX and Alpine.js to replace the React component currently handling search in a work app. What a breath of fresh air! One view with template partials and it feels so...
