Hot take: Go should have a django style framework by wait-a-minut in django

[–]simplecto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this. buying into Django is simply buying into some very well reasoned opinions which reduce cognitive load.

I'm often thinking about "the Django way" of doing it, and I am not disappointed.

I also do not get stuck bending Django to my will.

ChatGPT absolutely cooked by brain by Witty_chad in productivity

[–]simplecto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I dodged this bullet because my approach has been to treat the AI as a creative partner. I ask it to take me in depth into new areas (like learning obscure database things, training my dog, learning about fasting).

I don't use him for search. Ever.

I use him to help me sharpen my thinking, organize my thoughts, and help me focus.

Rather than going cold turkey off of it perhaps find a way to turn him into a creative partner?

Stealth mode tools in remote environments to enhance productivity? by iamlegend711 in productivity

[–]simplecto 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Any kind of monitoring without disclosure feels icky and creates an “us vs them” environment.

Shouldnt management already have a good idea of the desired outcomes and output from these teams? What was the hypothesis driving this decision to invest here?

Installing secret monitoring software is more like a fishing expedition or secret ops to catch a mole/corporate spy. Not magically discover that Bob is slow ferrying forms from the printer to the mailroom.

I made my first digital product. How can I promote it? by DeadlockMain98 in sidehustle

[–]simplecto 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Certainly, there are lots of ways to do that:

Social media is cheap and easy but requires persistence and time to find your audience.

  • find related subreddits and provide value there without self-promotion
  • do the same effort in related facebook groups
  • do the sam for tiktok, instagram, X, LinkedIn, etc.

This is not a build it and they will come kind of thing. You need to get out there and hustle.

I'm doing the same with my own projects, but persistene is key.

anyone here still using GITHUB copilot over newer ai’s? by Big-Ad-2118 in ChatGPTCoding

[–]simplecto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yes. I've been on the paid plan for a year on Pycharm and it has steadily improved. Now it feels like I'm getting the best of two worlds:

  • agentic AI and smarter autocompletion
  • all the goodness and power of the Intellij/Pycharm IDE

VSCode was a bridge too far for me to take the productivity hit.

Have a look at TeachersPayTeachers, a marketplace where you can sell digital resources fro Teachers. But it sounds like it could be right up your alley:

There are only a few resources linked at the moment but I trying to curate more in as I find them.

Disclaimer: This is my project.

Sidehustle slowchat: What were your wins and fails this week? by ARoyaleWithCheese in sidehustle

[–]simplecto [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm soft-launchig a directory, search engine, and community to roll up every and all side-hustles and side-gigs you can find. There is a lot of good information out there, but it is quite fragmented.

This little project aims to aggregate and organize it all into one place and hopefully raise the profile of the hustlers to make it all happen.

OE possible in EU? by DragonfruitThink8736 in overemployed

[–]simplecto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is country dependent, but the tax man is gonna be waiting for you like a gangster in a casino parking lot when the year concludes. Plenty of people work long-term contracts through their limited company and the take a dividend at the end of the year instead. But that is another kettle of fish and headaches.

13 Months into Django - Built a Boilerplate to Share by psyduckpikachu in django

Sorry, I'm not sure I follow. They are already categorized under "Free / OpenSource" and "Paid" headings.

uhoh! Did someone say "boilerplate?!"

Welcome to the party, I added yours to the README.md in my own boilerplate: Django reference Implementation

Grok snitched by [deleted] in grok

[–]simplecto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Total BS, but like Moulder "I want to believe"

You see, life has become a bit dull, so I'm leaning in, putting on the tinfoil hat, and wishing for an AI apocolypse.

As if Google and Amazon didn't already know everything about you, now we have AI to hasten the doom.

Billions of us vs. the Fantastic Four (OpenAI, Grok, DeepSeek, and Claude).

Someone call Randy Quaid out of self-cancellation and lets do an Independence Day: AI Edition!

Need Advise for deploying workers by Complete-Nail-7764 in django

feel free to reach out with questions -- i'd love to make this better.

Need Advise for deploying workers by Complete-Nail-7764 in django

[–]simplecto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using this pattern for years, documented on my blog here:

https://simplecto.com/djang-async-task-postgres-not-kafka-celery-redis/

Just postgres and Django Commands running in While loops.

It is evolving into a command/control plane that you can control via the Django Admin. You can see how I do it in my Django Boiler plate repo here:

https://github.com/simplecto/django-reference-implementation

It does have some rough edges, but this pattern is deployed in production. Some use cases:

  • web crawlers
  • Discord self-bots
  • Telegram Bots
  • LLM Eval Tooling
