🎉 Kudos to @d@social.dryan.com for spearheading this initiative and to our Django CoC WG members. It took a little over a year, but the lion's share of the work was over the last six months.
👏 Great job!

🤔 I'm not sure why I never did this sooner, but I started adding a doctor.py script in almost all of my projects.
✨ This can be a Django management command, but commonly a Typer/Click sub-command which does a quick sanity/config check that everything is wired up.
🔥 It has saved me hours while troubleshooting dev and production environments over the last few weeks.
✅ I even noticed our ops starting to use it and post the output as proof of work, which saves everyone time.
🙇♂️ I have found the perfect button for toggling voice mode. ⌨️

📵 Still no Office Hours. I have family visiting, errands, and a bunch of house stuff to work on this afternoon.
➡️ See @alexgmin@mastodon.social who might be hosting something this afternoon.
➡️ Please help us spread the word, and this is an excellent chance for you to try out PyCharm and help #Django out.

I received at least 12 emails (not counting notifications) from our school this week, and of the FIVE I received on Tuesday, I missed one sentence: my oldest is being given an award at 9 am tomorrow.
I don't think people realize the wall of noise parents receive PER child PER week.
I was already debating giving one of my Clankers it's own email account (read-only) but this is probably going to be what drives me over the edge.
🤔 "Just update DNS" has eaten up 28% of my Claude Code Max plan, and I still haven't gotten to DNS yet. 🍿
🤔 I’m happy to see so many good CalVer discussions going on.
It inspired me to add `/version.txt` endpoints to a bunch of my projects, along with a few JSON REST endpoints.
I already expose the CalVer version in the footer, but this lets me skip parsing HTML and quickly check whether a deploy was successful.
Coolify is great, but it’s even better when I can write simple tooling to verify that everything is running the version it should be.
⚾ While baseball is not my jam, if it's your jam, and you want to watch a game with a group of PyCon US attendees, then @brass75@twit.social is who you want to reach out to.
I see this same point made every week on Mastodon. Just saying one last week about a country being 100% sustainable from renewables. The Biden administration brought it up and advanced the US too before it was dismantled by the next administration change.
How I spent 5 minutes of my Friday... Trying to log into MS Teams and even the person who organized the meeting couldn't log in.
👋 See @alexgmin@mastodon.social for today's Office Hours dot gif links.
🔨 Hack of the day.
The solution was to take a JPEG of text, convert it to a PDF, then OCR it, rather than OCR'ing the JPEG. 🤷
