New Year resolution: sponsoring some of the open source projects I use https://www.andreagrandi.it/posts/new-year-resolution-sponsoring-opensource-projects/

222666 is your lucky number: It marks issues in #Forgejo that allow you to help improve the software and thus #Codeberg.

If you are interested in picking up a task, I'm happy to help and mentor where I can. Let me know if you prefer #coworking or at least a code reading session via screenshare.

Django Batteries versus packages

#Russia will continue sending hundreds of thousands #people to their #death, as long as they think they are #winning. The longer Russia #thinks they are winning, the more they will #bankrupt #themselves and their #future. The #best thing Russia can do to bankrupt #itself is by #spreading #propaganda that they are winning. It is worth being aware of who is #contributing #resources that will #directly #empower Russia in this #situation.

The feeling when 87.5% of the discussion under your contribution is about #bureaucracy : unreliable CI and insignificant #style #bikeshedding .

Congrats, the project has created a barrier to entry for anyone who hasn't been into it for years already.

Hint: give everyone a freaking #linter that satisfies your needs and let us move on to actual work, without having to redo the same stuff 8 times. Sheesh.

It's fine to have inconsequential kinks. Positioning, spacing, indentation...

But not everyone is into the same stuff. So if you want someone else to participate in them, make it as easy as possible to adjust. Nobody enjoys repetitive, thoughtless manipulation.

Even (or especially) if there's money involved, do you want me to waste my time on something a machine could do?

...

PLEASE, if you enforce a coding style, GIVE ME A FREAKING LINTER.

With #EnsembleProgramming, we talk about time together being worthwhile as long as we are either #Learning or #Contributing. Today I need to add that learning the same thing every day again is not really what I mean by learning. Learning should accrue. We need to figure out ways of practicing in a way where we are likely to retain information.
