I ran into a surprising hiccup after making a change to my
Dockerfile
: the time zone data was missing! Here's how I tracked down the source of the error. -
A brief post about how I setup and organize my staticfiles directories in all of my Django projects.

Just open sourced a new Django project template based on all of the projects at work.
Glad to get this monkey off my back - it’s going to make keeping the project drift between all of the applications in check. (Hopefully!)
Pretty pleased with myself that I snuck a Hot Fuzz reference in the README.

Offered as a counterpoint to a previous link -- maybe it's not all sunshine and roses in Web Component Land. All this tells me is I need to sit down and get my hands dirty so I can form my own opinion on them.
In comparison to all the JS frameworks, Django's component story is really lacking. Lately I have wanted to do a deep dive in to Web Components to see if there was anything there that could make up some of that ground. (There is
django-components
which I have yet to try as well, and may fit well with proper Web Components as well.) -

Looks like I'm not the only one wanting to do more curation of interesting links on a site and domain I own. My main problem with links shared on any social media is the ephemerality of them - good luck finding a link you or someone has posted that wasn't shared within the past day or so.

I appreciate people like Alex Russell who constantly fight against the behemoth that is React in the front-end ecosystem as it is today. As someone who actually likes a lot of what React brings to the table, I find myself agreeing with him more and more these days, even if I think he takes his vitriol a bit too far sometimes.

Lately I've been leaning on Cloudflare Workers for solving simple problems. I wanted to redirect the domain I used to use as my primary domain to this one. All it takes it a single 19 line file and it's done! Admittedly I overengineered this one a bit, extracting the domain and status code to environment variables, when those are likely to never change, but I never miss an opportunity to overcomplicate something. 😁
First real attempt at creating my own Apple Shortcut. It was.. not very pleasant.
