🚀 Feature Friday: LoginRequiredMiddleware!
The LoginRequiredMiddleware is great for any Django app that is mostly behind authentication. When enabled, views will require login by default. No more login_required decorators everywhere!

Hey, there! I’ve put together a detailed version of my DSF Board nomination statement. I believe a deeper exploration of my thoughts and aspirations will provide a clearer understanding of my vision for the #Django community.

✍️ New post covering another useful way to launch pdb in Django, when a given SQL query runs
🚀 Feature Friday: assertNumQueries!
This method from TransactionTestCase helps you write tests that verify the number of queries made by a piece of code.
It is a great way to check DB performance and catch regressions or "n+1" issues.

✍️ I just finished writing the new pdb chapter for Boost Your Django DX. Lots of good stuff about pdb and ipdb.
🖨️ I’m not against print debugging though, per this past post:
https://adamj.eu/tech/2021/10/08/tips-for-debugging-with-print/
🤔 Maybe I could squeeze a “print debugging” section in with these tips?
Does anyone here know about #django events in Pakistan? 🇵🇰 We’d like to know if there are any Django-specific events there which we could recommend on our website (https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com/issues/1659)
🤔 Want to test your Django knowledge?
Here’s my blog post version of last night’s quiz at Django London. It’s been our annual tradition since 2016.
We're kicking off our new DSF member of the month series! This series will spotlight individual members of the DSF and help you get to know our members better.
The first member of the series is Hiroki Kiyohara! He is the creator and a staff member of DjangoCongress JP and a key member of the Django Japan community.
Read Hiroki's interview here:

The Django 5.2 feature freeze is tomorrow. If anyone has some spoons and/or energy left to get the BoundField change landed in #Django that would be awesome.
PR here https://github.com/django/django/pull/19043
Thanks :)
I found another useful pattern in my current #Django project, so also wrote about that.
"Make Django show dates and times in the visitor’s local timezone"
My next Modern frontend development with #Django, #HTMX, #Tailwind, #Playwright and #AlpineJS workshop is happening on 1 and 2 Feb. There are still some tickets left!

I also have some really cool bonuses for you.
Please share this with whoever might benefit!
I've been pushing for more mentorship in the #Django community for a while. I think an approachable step we can take today is holding more small group meetups.
