@cstross Reminds me of this article of Richard Rorty’s from 2004.
> In a worst-case scenario, historians will someday have to explain why the golden age of Western democracy […] lasted only about two hundred years.

Two great Django Async projects highlighted in this week’s Django News.
DjangoRealtime, which is SSEs using Postgres as the messaging layer, and Django-Liveview, which lets you build real-time, reactive interfaces with Django using WebSockets, based on Channels.
Just two of the numerous Django projects out there leveraging async to let you build responsive, real-time applications. Go check them out! 🦄

Hey @andros! Excited to see the update. I was only thinking of this project the other day. Let me check it out. 🤩
We'll have to get you on @djangochat in the new year so you can tell us all about it! 🎙️ #Django #Channels #LiveView

Working on this month's Stack Report:
API Stability Guarantees are hard
Long-Term Support Releases are hard
A Robust Security Policy is hardYet #Django does them all. We should play to our strengths here. #TheStackReport

I'm super excited about @thom's preview of the upcoming 1.0 of HTTPX. It's shaping up to be the Python HTTP toolkit I always wanted.
Just go look at that server example on the homepage. And it gets better from there. 🥰

Time for me to progress Phase 2 I guess #SummerProject #Neapolitan

My @buttondown subscription just renewed. Must be almost a year since I started #TheStackReport

I think I've written the same thing enough times now.

@wsvincent Thanks Will ☺️ I’m glad you liked it! I was pleased to finally get the Ben-Hur clip in! 🎬 #TheStackReport

@kevinrenskers This is one of my favourite moments in cinema 🎬. I think it captures some important lessons about the human condition 🍿 #TheStackReport

A little late because it was the kids' birthday yesterday, this month's Stack Report, some thoughts on Django Core.

I think I might save the piece on postwar French thought to the present for another day. 🛌 #LRB

@webology This month’s is Django related… but I’m unlikely to touch on the version numbering.
If I’m entirely straightforward, I think it’s the least of things we should be thinking of. There’s only so much give at any one time, only so much effort, and I’d really like us to think about where the ROI is highest on that. (That I likely will touch on 😅) #TheStackReport
-
@CodenameTim @sarahboyce @jacob That's a very nice offer from both of you. 🎁 I am good for coffee ☕️
If folks want to support my efforts then I have my newsletter, The Stack Report that folks can sign up for. There's no obligation on that, and this month's issue will be free access, since it's about Django's technical direction (so there's no rush either 🥳)
-
This month’ Stack Report starting to come together. Currently subsection draft «HTMX is not the 100 year tech» 🌶️ #TheStackReport

@jacob 🫡
Got a topic for this month’s Stack Report then.
#TheStackReport -
@webology glad you’re enjoying it Jeff. I like the image of you reading it with your coffee ☕️ #TheStackReport
-
Thanks @wsvincent — glad you liked it! 🤗
I tend to upset people when I talk about software licensing, but since that seems to be the case anyway, I might just take it on 🥳 #TheStackReport
-
Glad you’re enjoying it @oliverandrich! 🤗
Who knew “Old man shouts at cloud” would be so well received. 😜 #TheStackReport

This month's Stack Report should be going out to you now 📧 — it's about Avoiding R&D in Production 💻
https://buttondown.com/carlton/archive/avoiding-rd-in-production/ #TheStackReport
-
No, we don’t need to be able to schedule. We can just rely on our developers’ heroics to get things shipped when we need them.
Because that’s just what our industry needs more of. 🤦♀️
Drafting this month’s Stack Report. Might go for a walk 😜 #TheStackReport
-
Just in time for my trip to DjangoCon 📰 #DjangoconUS #LRB

Gah! That took longer than I thought. I'm exhausted. 😅
This month's Stack Report is going out now. A free-access edition giving my far-too-long thoughts on how we can Evolve Django's auth.User.

@nanorepublica ah, but those at somewhat heretical, so I have to go but by bit. This month’s #TheStackReport is on this though. 😜
