Found one of my oldest bits of Python code... a script to run “Pass the Parcel” by playing/pausing iTunes, written for my 2013 New Year’s party 🥳 🤩 Look at those lovely parenthesis-free Python 2 print statements. github.com/adamchainz/script…

👻 New post covering finding “ghost tables” in Django projects: tables without associated models. A client asked me today about finding such tables, and I realized I knew the Django internal methods that could help. adamj.eu/tech/2024/11/21/dja…

♦️ New post covering counting commits with Git I wanted to do get a commit count the other day before rebasing a giant feature branch. Turns out the best way to do this is with the low-level rev-list command. adamj.eu/tech/2024/11/20/git…

✍️ I just finished writing the new pdb chapter for Boost Your Django DX. Lots of good stuff about pdb and ipdb. 🖨️ I’m not against print debugging though, per this past post: adamj.eu/tech/2021/10/08/tip… 🤔 Maybe I could squeeze a “print debugging” section in with these tips?
