IMO, Django Rest Framework has too much magic for my tastes. I haven't spent much time with it (which is maybe why it's so confusing), but it always seems like I need to set certain properties and then it "just works"; I

Years ago I worked at a company that send out a test email to all our users with some light profanity in it. We got a little (unexpectedly) good press about it and it ended up being no harm, no foul. Hopefully everyone at HBO is as nice abo

This isn't quite true. 2FA still protects you from password breaches (and weak passwords, though you shouldn't have those if you're using a password manager). Also, keeping 2FA codes in a syncable password manager is a huge b

For what it's worth Facebook and Instagram (also owned by FB, but is fairly separate product-wise) have pretty good export tools. You make a request in the web UI and a short time later, can download a zip with a bunch of JSON files. I

This is a very cool project! I noticed that outgoing http requests don't seem to work (there's no `curl` and after installing a CLI tool I work on via npm (which worked like a charm!), the outgoing API calls it makes were blocked.

Also (at least on iOS), content blockers don't work in the in-app browsers that FB uses. It's coded differently than a SafariWebView (which _does_ get the content blockers). Being an ad company, it makes sense that they don't

I did a similar thing (full time van living while doing full time software development, but in the US) for ~ 6 months until the pandemic cut the trip short. Depending on the build of your van, you will have differing levels of reliance on p

AdGuard is a free extension that, as far as I can tell, is on-par with uBlock Origin. It's been great so far.

Definitely. Python 2 is EOL and will no longer be getting updates. The upgrade is easy, especially if you don't have much code written.

We've got a `gratitude` channel in Slack for this exact thing! Its only purpose is to call out great work and nice gestures coworkers have done. Provides a nice little pick-me-up throughout the week.
