If you aren’t already familiar with relational data modeling and the various “normal forms”, do a bit of learning on that topic and design your schema. Then you’ll want to learn a bit about ETL for importing the data, which your sources wil

I will point blank refuse to return to office until there is thorough ventilation and individual offices. I’m not interested in catching a disease that can cause long term heart damage, immune deficiency, and more. As for what would make me

There are plenty of people who still use nothing but a CLI text editor like vim. Nothing wrong with sticking with simpler tools. And as you point out, if you’ve got good keyboard shortcuts, using the terminal for most of the fancy stuff an

My biggest pain point is inability (as in refusal, not failure) to open files with more than N rows even if plenty of memory is available. (I forget what the exact value of N is.) Especially annoyingly, this limitation didn’t seem to exist

2to3 is good and will get you 80% of the way there. You’re on your own for the last 20%. Decent test coverage will take care of most of the rest. It’s definitely time to be off Python 2. Never used Django-upgrade. The release notes are exce

It’s a little sad, though, that it’s now impressive for a towel to last 3 years. The ones my parents bought in 1986 are still in my rotation for everyday use and holding up better than the set I bought (not cheaply) in 2010, which are start
