Anyone looking for a developer with crazy fullstack experience (back to the 1990s!), about two decades professional experience with both #Python and #Django, very solid with JS/frontend, some #SRE background, an absurd love for #Lisp, and who's an enthusiastic loony for new tech?
I'm your girl!
I'm looking to jump ship to somewhere much more fulfilling, and I'd love to check you out as long as you're diversity-friendly.

Just released 0.15.0 of `dj-angles` with 2 new template tags. 🚀
- `call`: evaluate functions directly from a #Django template
- `model`: make Django model queries directly from a Django template

TIL about the bulk import functionality in django-import-export library.

Some caveats:
- set `batch_size` for better performance
- doesn't work with many-to-many relationships
- no `pre_save` and `post_save` signals sent (it' doesn't call `model.save()`)
This International Women's Day, we're celebrating a historic milestone in Django’s journey!🚀
For the first time ever, Django has women in every leadership position within the project.

I signed up for Codeberg last September but forgot to share it here 😅
codeberg.org/pauloxnet
I see that other members of the Python and Django community have signed up in the past few months 🎉
I tried to follow them all but if I missed you let me know here or follow me there so I can reciprocate ✅
Speaking of projects, besides django-allauth, do you know of any projects that have migrated to Codeberg that are worth following? 🐍

Testing Django templates with Beautiful Soup for when you don't need to test JS interactions does not seem a crazy idea to me, lacking better alternatives.

I am very tempted to upgrade the blog to the Django 5.2 alpha.
I won't yet, but tempted nonetheless.

What does the job market look like right now for Django Developers?
I’ve shared some of my thoughts in a quick summary and left a little advice for job seekers too.
What do you think about looking for local jobs to gain an advantage over your competition rather than just applying to remote positions?

📣 ✍️ New #webdev blog post!
This one is special to me, partly because it took some time to cook 😅 , partly because I talk a bit about #ux (which is not my main field), and partly because it features an experiment: after talking about #webpush and #pwa with #django, I'm asking my dear readers (you 😉) to visit a small demo website and tell me how it went!
You can give feedback here, or on Lemmy, Lobsters, etc. I'll update the post with the links!
So here it is: david.guillot.me/en/posts/tech…
Enjoy! 😸🔔
Today I want to talk to you about a combination of technologies that I don’t see often implemented, yet I wonder why: Web Push Notifications and Progressive Web Apps.David Guillot
✨ I tried @jack's django-templated-email-md project tonight, which was easy to use and was all I needed. I tried out a few other libraries, but it checked the right boxes for me.
If you want a bit more than Django's default mail handling provides, I recommend checking it out.
I no longer have an excuse not to send emails in my projects.
EDIT: started a new job last week!
Hey friends,
I'm restarting my job search; I had an offer, but it fell through.
Remote US preferred, but hybrid Washington, DC works too. I have 17-ish YOE as a software engineer, and have worked on both frontend and backend, but I lean toward the backend.
#Elixir #Phoenix, #Python #Django, and #React are what I know best.
Hoping to #GetFediHired

🍞 In 2018, I updated the #Django contributor tutorial to walk readers through an imaginary ticket adding a make_toast() function.
So far, about 60 new contributors have accidentally made a full PR with their results: github.com/django/django/pulls…
I bet you some future LLM product will recommend adding django.make_toast() for real because it looks like such a popular suggestion!

Hello #Fediverse! #Pinetta is a decentralized FOSS social pinboard in the style of Pinterest. After a month of planning, we've settled on a basic game plan and are opening up our @Codeberg repo for contributions from devs and designers!
We'll be working on a prototype that uses #Python and #Django to get the basic functionality working. We'll also be hosting weekly sharing sessions on #CommunityBuilding principles to develop our Code of Conduct and a larger framework for community wellness. 🥳
I'm super excited to be re-joining the #Django Software Foundation Board after, what, like a decade away?
I don't have firm plans. I've been unplugged for a while so the first task is going to be just listening a lot.
