This Google article touches on one of the sub-themes from my #DjangoConEurope talk next week. Nice to read just as I start getting nervous 😅

@carlton ooh a link I can point people at! 👌

Will you be doing one of those heretical talks Carlton…? 🤞

@nanorepublica ooh, very heretical!

@nanorepublica it's a tricky one. I've seen the same thing you're describing with many junior folks coming to Django. But I think there's also utility in db GUIs for folks who find visual representations useful or want a quick overview of, for example, constraints.

@nanorepublica to be clear, I don't think your article is wrong, just wanted to add some more nuance 😁

What are folks using for linting and/or formatting templates these days?

@ghickman@mastodon.social avatar

I'm playing with django-render-block and HTMX to update a modal with form errors and avoid a page reload. This is such a simple yet powerful workflow.

The only thing that would improve it at this point is being able to use TemplateResponse but still be able to target the block I'm interested in.

Chatting to the local farmer (land owner rather than the tenant actually looking after the sheep) and he was claiming that locally nesting Buzzards are killing lambs. I'm suspicious about this, and even web 'rural life' forums you'd kinda think would be anti-raptor seem to be largely unconvinced that this happens. Ravens may seem more likely to blame, but of course a Buzzard's gonna peck at an already dead one. 🤷 #ukBirds #farming

@pete super dubious about this!

Hot take: are they even a farmer if they’re just renting out the land 🔥

@pete what do they know about lambs then 😜

Yet again django-slippers has a useful tool, this time it's the fragment tag: https://mitchel.me/slippers/docs/template-tags-filters/#fragment

What an absolute blast #emfcamp was this year. Absolute love to all crew who have been and are still running the ship 💖

Chemical toilet?

Please dispose of it at the two points on site.
Do not, we repeat, not empty them in the accessible loos or any other loo, for two reasons.

  1. The accessible loo fills up and then people who need it can’t use it.
  2. The poo truck charges us for a chemical load not a human waste load (super pricey).

@info any chance these could be marked on the map next time? I know scavenger hunts are Very EMF and all… 😁

EMF buildup has been some very hard graft, but we're now in the phase where people are arriving, and I can take a 30 minute break and wander around the field to see everyone enjoying the sunshine and recharge myself.

@andrew as a plain attendee, it’s going surprisingly smoothly given the rain/soft ground y’all have been dealing with!

I think I've brought more grass home from #emfcamp than when I literally make hay bales.
