I really enjoyed using ProWritingAid, but at $30/mo it's too much for how often I use it. The AI critique was nice to have, but I can likely find something similar elsewhere. Time to give grammarly a whirl.

I shouldn't have called this the year of fix it. I should have coined it my Liz Lemon year because I'm trying to have it all.

I got to make one of my favorite meals for some friends. Pan fried garlic bread!

Big thanks to first-time contributors, elijah0kello @pfouque, jeffwidman, salty-ivy and TheRealVizard!

I'm looking for some help running a GitHub organization dedicated to supporting community-maintained third-party packages.

I've written up an introduction here: https://www.better-simple.com/django/2024/05/22/looking-for-help-django-commons/

You can join here: https://github.com/django-commons/membership

@sethmlarson @jezdez @CodenameTim Here's a similar thing I've heard about, but on the face of it, EF+Py sounds better than VC+Go :)

@gvwilson I've been enjoying "Software Design By Example", thank you for writing it!

I've come across a few exercises now that I'm not 100% sure I understand what's being proposed. Is there a solution bank somewhere that I'm missing?

One of the specific cases is Chap 4's "Rewrite Any so that it does not repeated re-match text."

@gvwilson that's totally fair! We have a reading group within @djangonaut who have been working through it. It's been great!

@CodenameTim cool - if you're ever doing an online hangout I'd welcome a chance to sit in cc @djangonaut

Coming back at update_or_create for round 2!

If you call update_or_create where the instance already exists and the defaults passed in are already the values on the instance, do you ever want it to actually re-save the instance?

I'm running into the case where I'd prefer it to not update the instance if it doesn't need to. I'm guessing I'm overlooking some race condition problem though.

@treyhunner @CodenameTim @webology I've not personally used django-model-utils, but another developer previously showed me that they have a FieldTracker. It doesn't solve for the pure-db-checking upsert as I'd like, but could be useful to dirty check models before saving: https://django-model-utils.readthedocs.io/en/latest/utilities.html#field-tracker

treyhunner,

@ryanhiebert @CodenameTim @webology I actually made FieldTracker because I was inspired by django-simple-history and thought django-model-utils might be a good home for that. 😜

Honestly I use django-lifecycle's dirty-checking more often now since it's good enough for my use cases.

I was just reminded of the most difficult language I had to learn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHDL

Looking at it now, I get more of it, but trying to learn that syntax at the same time I was learning Java was challenging.

@CodenameTim Whoa! Is there anything you haven’t done?

And some days you wake up and try to do something new.

If you're into unsettling fiction, hopefully this scratches that itch. If that's not your thing (or amateur writing for that matter), don't click the link.

@CodenameTim I enjoyed reading that a lot. Or maybe enjoyed isn't the best word to describe all the feelings it evoked. Thanks :)

@matthiask Thank you! I definitely went back and forth on publishing it, and then again posting about it here.
