Denormalization and nested data structures. Sometimes we need to spend a little more time thinking about data models rather than just dumping the original json into mongo and working around that for eternity. /rant

Yeah, I wish every language had something as nice as DRF. I’ve never had issues with it for a few different multi-year codebases.

First time I read an argument against all black in design was this 2012 article. Something about it not being a color found in nature. Then, yeah, some people seemed to interpret it as “use gray on gray”. https://ianstormtaylor.c

Same here, I came into a project that had been started months before and found that they were spending weeks reimplementing stuff that comes out of the box in Django. But not as well.

I dont know - i think it still holds up. It just takes a little experience to learn to not be so literal with it.

I’m with you. If I don’t think a chunk of code is readable, I’m not going to rewrite it all for them off the bat. I’ll just say that it’s not clear and could probably use some cleaning up. And they can either push back, or do something on t

I’m biased, but I do like Python’s package management much better than Node. Even just regular old virtualenvs. Can’t tell you how many times deleting the node packages dir and reinstalling fixes a weird issue, but that’s happened very rare

Very interesting point. It really reminds me of that Borges story where someone in the 20th century rewrites Don Quixote word for word, and the critics think it’s far better than the original. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki

People working in restaurants in the US have a lower minimum wage than the rest of the country. So letting them do their work for like $3/hr doesnt really cut it

Thats’s awesome. Kind of reminds me of this vector-y 80s game I had as a little kid - the Tomy Turbo [1]. I’ve been trying to make something similar myself but keep pushing it aside. Anyways, nice work - it looks great! [1] https:/&#x

I use Ecosia, and the results are usually good enough. Google’s results are often better, but now there are only like 4 results on the first page.
