New post, about a new talk 😅

Know your limits: On Surviving Open Source.

I was honoured to be invited to talk to the latest batch of @djangonaut volunteers, and we had a great Q&A afterwards.

The video has just been posted to YouTube.

If you need to convince someone about the importance of "Locality of Behavior" (LoB) in #Django, show them a large project that attempted to do "don't repeat yourself" (DRY) on a bunch of Django Rest Framework serializers 🍝

It's a pattern I've seen repeated with both models, forms and class-based views. Class-inheritance invites DRY'ing of loosely related objects that often turn out to diverge once the project has evolved.

Anyways good luck out there with the DRY'ing, LoB'ing and YAGNI'ing 🤹‍♂️

Been working on a new feature for @reviewboard extension developers. TemplateHooks today let extensions inject arbitrary HTML into parts of the page, but now we're making this more flexible via a new Page State Injectors feature, as part of our Djblets for #Django project.

Djblets (https://github.com/djblets/djblets/) is a series of reusable apps for Django that help make more involved web applications.
