I feel your pain. Three things I’ve found helpful: 1. Remain disciplined & use the docs yourself. 2. Bring your doc on screen in a real-time meeting about the topic & update it with the discussion. 3. Link to the doc in emails inste

I recently built a prototype with GeoDjango & it seems productive. Queries & plots are relatively straightforward. Creating custom forms to edit map data is harder to figure out. The tutorials I found focus on the Django admin, but

Thanks for suggesting this link! Edit: I was hoping there would have been more discussion on that HN post, but your comment is an interesting one. Do you think we should simplify the lower level tech (or maybe rewrite it in more readable la

Anyone aware of the Thread mesh networking protocol or what the major use cases are? Gruber mentioned Thread in a footnote on his review of the new Apple TV remote. First time I’ve heard of it. Here’s that article: https://daring
