Please double-check responses, the little warning goes. My Dad is coming to visit, and I wanted to think about some examples to discuss with him about AI. I know he'll want to talk about it. He knows a lot about golf. He's played his whole life, and it was his industry when working. He's an expert, and so golf topics are perfect for making the points I'd want to. I asked Claude Sonnet 4, "What was the top 10 at last years us masters?". This is the sort of question that I see folks putting to…

How I’m bundling frontend assets using Django and rspack these days I last wrote about configuring Django with bundlers in 2018: Our approach to configuring Django, Webpack and ManifestStaticFilesStorage. An update has been a long time coming.

Django's querystring tag was new in 5.1. It had a couple of fixes during the pre-release period, one release blocker in 5.1.7,, and now has a couple of behaviour tweaks pending in 6.0. The need for these showed up when people started using it. Let's assume that's it. From Sept '24 to Dec '25 to wait for corrections, that could have been resolved in a third-party version in a month.

How I’m using Django, JavaScript modules and importmaps together I have been spending a lot of time in the last few months working on django-prose-editor. First I’ve rebuilt the editor on top of Tiptap because I wanted a framework for extending the underlying ProseMirror and didn’t want to reinvent this particular wheel. While doing that work I noticed that using JavaScript modules in the browser would be really nice, but Django’s ManifestStaticFilesStorage doesn’t…

The question was asked to the president of the DSF this year at FOSDEM, after his talk. And it is clearly a legitimate one! But… is it True? Do we actually need a 3rd party app to write an API with Django? In a lot of cases, when you require a complex and full-featured API, I would recommend you do use one. Django REST Framework and Django Ninja being very sound choices with a bunch of nifty things you might need in a bigger project. But… what if what you need is a simple REST API that does CR…
