definitely agree.. I recently looked at the management command code as a reference when building some non-django scripts that use python argparse...

I would add the Django project to that list as it's a very large, mature, and successful open source python project - https://github.com/django/django

working on a big idea social platform, can't reveal details but pretty excited. oh and we're building it with microservices from the get-go which so far has been awesome

it's not like it would have mattered... that hospital didn't stand a chance either way...

definitely.. and that's where the cops have true power. anything show of defiance or questioning can be construed as obstructing or interfering no problem...

yes but when we're talking about the real world where maintaining N(user) growth translates into designing, implementing, and maintaining complex systems, it can be fatal to simply view engineers as a commodity that can be discarded or replaced on a whim...

I was arrested for "resisting arrest" after questioning two young punk cops that dragged my younger sister backwards from her bedroom during a house party at her house in college. I continually asked on what grounds they were arresting me and was never given an answer other than that I was arrested for resisting arrest. It was total bullshit but the whole point is that the cops can do whatever they want to you, like it or not.

PS once they put me in the cop car and I knew they were seriously going to take me to jail, the cop in the car said "I bet you hate it when men grope your sister..." as his partner was frisking her outside the car... Real quality humans.

the key to success is being able to walk through fear and anxiety and learn from it. it doesn't matter if you make plenty of syntax errors, it only matters if you pay attention and learn why you made those errors. rome wasn't built in a day. stop beating yourself up and cut yourself a break. most programmers in the world are the same as you and many of them (including me) have gone through periods of inferiority or self-doubt (or imposter syndrome).

just try to stay focused and dont spread yourself too thin when it comes to learning. build a foundation one day at a time.

have fun, laugh a lot, live free follow your dreams.

as an aside, holy crap that website is terrible!

soo, hyperloop alpha?

> For instance, killing civilians with drones, torturing people, or recording the whole world's communications may be legal according to some twisted laws, but it doesn't make it right.

Without context then sure it seems not right. In the real world, terrorism is real. Although I don't agree with anything you mentioned as a whole, if it is a consequence of the world I live in, I'm ok with that. So are plenty of others.

As someone who is starting a new project and thinking about microservice first (and first time in general), this is interesting. Im wondering if there are any success stories so far for this case? I like the idea of having just a few coarse services (e.g. users, content, gateway, message queue, web/client)

Another interesting thing is how to handle microservices orchestration, development, deployment early on without significant investment of time. We've been looking at docker/docker-compose and it seems like it should handle it but also seems more geared towards multi-container single-service apps. I'm wondering if anyone else is using same technology and has input? Maybe as things develop it will handle build/mananage/orchestrate multi-decoupled services

The article on CNN mentions that the US has the largest FIFA television audience and that because of their banking, tax, and regulations, they have a long arm essentially.

damn 2 hours later? that's barely enough time for a nice nap

When I was 30 I worked for one of the largest media companies in the world (household name globally). I was struggling with alcoholism throughout my tenure there and finally decided to get help and turn things around (it was really deep depression underneath). I did that and worked for about a year with things going very well, however I had a relapse and in that process it led to me ultimately getting fired. It was a huge crush to my ego and at the time I thought that was it, I was screwed.

Fast forward a year (sober!) and I am the lead developer at a startup making 50% more than I did there and starting my own venture on the side with two very solid co-founders.

The moral of my story is never give up, life isn't always easy and sometimes you have to really hit low points to find reasons to change. Things will ALWAYS get better with jobs and with life. Always have faith in yourself and know that others have struggled and made it through.

Technology wise, the core language I use (python) was highly transferrable but I had been using for instance backbone.js in a large SPA. My current role uses ember.js and I had to learn that on the fly (just like I had learned backbone on the fly). Always just take what you learned and the process for how you learned it and communicate that you can do the same if needed in a new role.

Cheers.

yes very true! although the main reason I haven't made a move is it's buying me time to work on a side project while still having income... as my gf's dad said, "prostitution goes two ways"

I definitely agree about seeing the raise to market level... When I was hired they were supposedly going after 2-5M funding (so far its been ~1M in family money put into it), they said once either the additional funding or 50k mrr was hit that my salary (and the others) would go up. A few months ago the CEO's position shifted to wanting to "grow organically". Now it's pretty clear it could be 6months - 1 year before either funding or the mrr are hit (if the company survives that long) and I don't plan to wait, BUT, the main reason I hadn't made a move yet is because it's buying me time to work on a side project while still having some income stream. The thing is I don't want to get played like that and if the company suddenly sees growth (possible), I don't want to be stuck with low equity for all the work I'm contributing. I also only meant senior level in terms of development work, I'm sure I have more to learn in the startup realm.

yeah also I forgot to mention that there are no benefits yet and I'm having to pay health insurance on my own... the only reason I've not left is its buying me time to work on a side project while having some income stream

I'm curious for you to expand on what you mean by real equity? I was hired as the first backend developer at an enterprise startup last August. they told me they were securing next round of funding (all family money so far) by end sept/oct and at that point id get market salary (Ive been at ~40% less since hire). in november when it was clear we wouldn't have the funding or revenue to raise salaries, I negotiated another point in equity and higher six figure salary when we do get funding/or revenue. we agreed (me and CEO) that we would reevaluate things in April. now it's almost June and I still held off on having our next talk bc even though we launched a month ago, were still another 1-2 months away from realistically getting revenue. I am at 2% equity which he says is more than any other employer but I'm not sure what my next move is. I'm senior level full stack and do much more than I was hired for from client to backend to devops and helping lead. if I stay longer, how much equity should I go for? again I was told my salary would go to market by sept/oct last year prior to me starting... thanks!

If I have a CCTA test done and it shows early signs of heart disease, what can I do about it? I am 31 healthy, eat relatively good, exercise everyday, don't drink or do drugs. I'm just wondering what you can even really do? Are there (or will there be) drugs that can dissolve the hardened fat (and whatever else) in your arteries?

strict in what way? I've built many api's using django-rest-framework and it is truly awesome to work with, completely extensible and flexible and never seems to get in my way

This seems like a reaction completely based in fear not reality.

Hello,

Great application, I'm especially impressed with the django/rest-framework backend (getting some ideas for my own project from looking at how you guys implemented permissions...)

That said, the first thing that jumped out when I tried it was the fonts. It seems like the use of tall and skinny fonts makes it hard to read and imo hurts the design.

Definitely get more feedback on those and check out other modern/popular webapps to get ideas!

Other than that great job!

(PS It'd be awesome if you guys blogged about your use with django/restframework/angular if you haven't already!)

Get outside yourself and go help someone else out. Donate to a charity, go teach code to high schoolers, go help your neighbor paint their fence, go volunteer at an animal shelter, go visit the elderly, spend time with your family, run a marathon, run for office, plant some trees, help build homes for the poor in Mexico - get out there and do stuff that doesn't involve YOU!
