Do you use a set of base model fields for your #Django projects? If so, what fields do you include & apply to most of your models? Here is a set of four fields that tracks created/updated date and who created/deleted the record. Anything missing or awry with this set of fields?

Do you use a #Django custom user model? If so, what do you do differently from the built-in User, and why? I like django-improved-user. Why? (1) email as username (2) full-name field instead of first/last names (3) short-name for preferred first name github.com/jambonsw/django-i…

Do you use (1) the built-in authentication provided by #Django, (2) django-allauth, or (3) something else? What made you choose it over the alternatives? What don’t you like about it?

On this day 10 years ago, I made my first commit to @GetPelican. I can hardly believe it’s been a decade. Quite a milestone! 🎊 It has been an honor to have played a part in nurturing the growth of this community. Thanks to everyone who has contributed. Y’all are the best. πŸ’—

Pelican 4.7.1 is out! ✨ Thanks to the Rich project by @willmcgugan, Pelican’s dev-server component now has richer logging output. Plus, Pelican is now being tested on the recently-released Python 3.10, and we made a few other minor improvements. github.com/getpelican/pelica…

If you are interested in contributing to #Python open-source projects, Pelican plugins are a great place to start. They are small and relatively easy to understand, and contributions to them are usually reviewed quickly. πŸ’« github.com/pelican-plugins

Do you use Homebrew Python? You may not realize this, but Homebrew Python is not meant for you. My latest article explains why, as well as what I think you should use instead when developing with #Python. 🐍 justinmayer.com/posts/homebr…

Aww, shucks. Many thanks for the kind words, @pycharm. Y’all rock!
Kudos on the Poetry release and for everything you do to help a sore spot in Python. (And for your Pelican work too.)
I am looking for a Django coach. My goal is to pair-program with an experienced developer in order to learn, increase productivity, and improve my skills. Are you interested, or know someone who might be? (Retweets much appreciated!) #Django

Microsoft shutters its ebook program & confiscates customer libraries. We should all be as angry as @doctorow: β€œThe idea that the books I buy can be relegated to some kind of f***ing software license is the most grotesque and awful thing I can imagine.” boingboing.net/2019/04/02/bu…
