Yeah, pretty sure that’s the one I followed when I transitioned from builtin to custom.
Honestly, I still haven’t convinced myself it’s worth the lift if the custom user is already in use. But seeing as most of my projects do nothing with it and it’s only there “just in case”, it would be nice to slim things down a bit.

are there any good resources out there about transitioning from custom to built in auth.User? I’ve done the opposite and know there are posts about that, but have been mulling over going the other way on all my projects that have a CustomUser.
Thinking out loud, I’d guess the steps are roughly the same but I’m curious if anyone’s written about it before I take the dive myself

+1 for no underscores in CLI management commands. That extra stretch of the fingers to Shift, no thank you 🙂‍↔️. I’m such a lazy typist 😆.

Hard to tell if that page calculates the actual price when I bought a game

though because I really only buy things when they are on sale, my price per hour played is a respectable $2.54 https://steamdb.info/calculator/76561197982902713/?cc=us

yeah, this was my first experience with it and it was quite pleasant. Just enough hooks in there to do what you want when you want to add extra functionality

headless text editor built on top of ProseMirror https://tiptap.dev/docs/editor/introduction

Spent the weekend hacking on my personal todo app. I lost all the progress I had made on it when BitLocker locked me out of Windows so I’m pretty much starting from scratch, which is honestly a bit refreshing.
Played around with the TipTap editor and Alpine.js, got a decent text editing experience and was real easy to extend.

those are Josh specific regrets for Jeff. I know there are more but I could not find them in slack

Rye, the million ways docker gives you to shoot yourself in the foot via compose options, flyctl Dockerfile generation, mjml, maizzle.. I know there are more

Is there a #PyBama? Should there be? cc: @npub1vm4…0ev2

I wouldn’t normally post something personal like this, but I feel compelled to.
It seems my mother-in-law’s cancer may have taken a turn for the worse. She had to be hospitalized last night and it doesn’t look great. It’s reminding me a lot of when my mom passed from her cancer a couple of years ago, where there’s a line that is crossed — before crossing it seems like the progress is up and down, better and worse. But once that line’s crossed it’s all down from here.
