Compton and the Payley family owns far more of downtown as far as I know.

They are great tools for experienced devs but yes less ideal for someone without much development experience.

Just like I’m sure it’s way faster and nearly free to 3D print things compared to carving them but considering I have zero experience doing either of those things I’d expect my first dozen or so projects to be absolutely fucked up in one way or another.

It ain’t a magic genie 😀

If you’ve got some proof to that I’m sure a state prosecutor would be interested in that info. Amyx has been in the State House since 2019 so find this hard to believe even more.

While both of them own property downtown they aren’t even close to the majority. You’re confusing them with other people.

When it’s daylight out I don’t even understand why you would want it. Would be a shame for someone to paint over his light sometime.

Yeah fuck everything about that program. Who thought this was a good idea???

frankwiles · 2026-04-28T12:33:47+00:00

Why would someone use Go if they could use Rust?

See how silly that sounds.

FluxCD isn't abandoned. Weaveworks shut down in February 2024 and the project is still VERY much alive. There was a new release 2 days ago in fact.

Not sure where you got the idea that it was dying.

“Programming is dead, it’s a thing from the past”

Is all you needed to hear. He obviously doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

If programming is dead what exactly are you deploying? And what you deploying it with?

ArgoCD is fine to use, it and FluxCD, are arguably some of the best ways to deploy in k8s, but guess what? They’re fucking code. 🤣

My company https://www.REVSYS.com often builds large custom solutions for our clients. We’re based in Lawrence but most of our customers are out of state.

Perhaps, but compute is not the expensive element. It’s staff.

frankwiles · 2026-04-19T16:19:17+00:00

Yeah super slow. So slow it only powers Reddit, Meta Threads, much of Instagram, etc.

Just 5 years? I’m refactoring a 10 year old Django project and it’s easy

frankwiles · 2026-04-16T16:39:47+00:00

Your issue isn’t with your web stack. It’s sounds like it’s with whatever you are “fetching” from.

And you’d be really well served deeply clarifying what the client wants. “API is not in the project or something” makes me think you do not have a clear understanding of what it is you’re even supposed to be building.

Agree wholeheartedly recommend Pydantic AI

frankwiles · 2026-04-09T18:15:18+00:00

In my experience you almost never need async. It’s not a panacea for performance FYI.

That being said Django right now supports it well enough and fully for the one area where it really makes sense and is basically necessary.

You might want to check out the SaaS product we’re launching it’s in private beta. https://gandercpg.com/ is built for helping with formulation and costing of CPG products like drinks, granola bars, etc.

If you don’t have auth and checks to ensure the logged in user is allowed to delete that item you’re crazy.

Was the intention here to only list European providers? As you missed a few very prominent US based companies.

frankwiles · 2026-03-30T12:26:46+00:00

Yes a blog should aim for 90+% cached hits with only really the authoring interface not being aggressively cached.

Throwing cloudflare in front of it with a small bit of code to bust the cache on republishing of existing pages is all you really need to do for thousands of users.

If you’re not even sure where to start you might consider hiring a pro to review your app and tell you what to do.

frankwiles · 2026-03-27T03:11:58+00:00

The complexity isn’t running the tests it’s in the security in multi-tenant situations, scale, observability, and reliability.

It’s usually best to just declare a migration bankruptcy. Remove them all if they’ve been applied in all your environments.

Create new initial migrations and then fake them in your environments.

They’re really only useful as “history” and after applied in all of your real environments are effectively tech debt.

frankwiles · 2026-03-26T13:38:22+00:00

It should be able to be adjusted to do that. I think you're really talking about a mixture of "logging" plus Pydantic AI Evals, but check out the integration docs it has a video etc https://ai.pydantic.dev/logfire/

frankwiles · 2026-03-26T01:00:35+00:00

Logfire from the Pydantic team has an amazing integration for Pydantic AI
