I have finally written the #Django, #rspack and ManifestStaticFilesStorage blog post I wanted to write for a long time: https://406.ch/
The problem was always that I tried explaining how using these tools together is actually nice, but then I stumbled over the rspack configuration, and there's no way to call its configuration nice. Or is there?

🎉 Happy 20th Birthday Django 🎉
I first heard about Django 18 years ago when I made a phone call to a prospective client and now I have a business built around finding companies the best Django talent.
Along the way I have seen first hand just how much this amazing framework shapes lives and careers.
I've shared some of my thoughts and experiences with Django in a blog post: https://foxleytalent.com/blog/django-turns-20/

OK, #django friends...
I thought the practice of loading fixtures as data migrations was quite commonplace, but I can't seem to find any credible guide / documentation on doing it easily, except for an app by Alex Hays for Django 1.7.
Any pointers?
Never thought I'd be writing official docs for a major open source project begging LLMs to stop fabricating surreal vulnerabilities.
Is this the future??? 😱
Hasta la vista, baby.

Happy birthday @django!
Back at my first university, I had to make a choice between #Django and Rails, and I never regretted my decision to have chosen the former! This decision follows me to this day, now that I work with Django professionally and very much enjoy doing so :)
A good reason for me (and you!) to donate to DSF to keep the framework afloat 💚
🎉 @django turns 20 this year!
If you’ve been deep in the codebase or part of the community:
👀 What should we keep doing?
⚠️ What should we stop?
💭 What’s on your wishlist?
Reply or DM—curious what folks think!
