I disagree that slime-ball force is inescapable. I think our industry has a huge "boulder" - we often work on useless software that is far too removed from real world applications, which causes us to lose our passion. When you hav

No, we just make it boring with linters and unit tests. Plus, we're not building real world things anymore, like OSes, factory assembly lines or cool robots that make burgers. Instead, we make boring websites and crappy web APIs, and i

I don't get why Americans target their own companies when it comes to vaping. A couple of years ago regulators banned all the popular flavors of Juul while other brands still have plenty of vaping flavors. The flavor ban completely des

I am disappointed this release does not introduce any functionality similar to the Flask-Classful project. I find built-in MethodViews very limited and unable to capture context. Furthermore, MethodViews force you to artificially split endp
