I always reach for django for new projects. It's never let me down and can be used in many, many ways. I usually end up with fairly succinct code and it's never difficult coming back to a project that is 5-6 years old. Can always

It's back now. Definitely worth a look. Been using bitwig for ages as it works beautifully on Linux and I'm really excited about version 3. Nice to see the project progress in such an amazing way.

I suppose you wouldn't notice great things so much, as they wouldn't stand out from the crowd.

It almost doesn't matter. Do you remember the hours and hours spent trying to debug something on IE that worked perfectly on Chrome/Firefox/Safari? All because MS didn't follow the standards that everyone was getting use

Really not sure this is an alternative to blender. Blenders functionality stretches way way further than this. Go check out the blender 2.8. I think you'll be really quite impressed by the improvements that have gone into it. Blender m

This is it. Safari really doesn't compare to chrome/firefox in terms of good developer tools. They are there, but no where near as useful/powerful. I have noticed a few quirks in Safari that I have to work around. Like not re

Really great advice here. Sometimes might feel a bit stupid having all that equipment for a relatively short journey, but so worth it when you do need it.

This is what I've been waiting for. As a developer, I love developing on Linux, I just flow better with it, servers are Linux as well etc... But I do a lot of design work and this is where I miss all the Adobe apps. I've found a g

I've got a little 13" XPS Developer Edition and it's a really solid option. The build quality is perfect and I've yet to come across any issues with it. Use daily for web development in work and for personal projects. Wi

Good god I owe you a beer. I am able to live a very nice life developing with django. Working on a large(ish) system with django, and it's an absolute joy. Thanks to you and everyone who has contributed.

Yea I'm big fan of it. Strange things used to happen with npm, dependencies would break, installs would fail etc... Maybe something to do with our build config, but since moving to yarn, no problems. We don't ever think about pack

I was part of a team developing a travel product which needed huge amounts of data from flights to car rental... My god the travel industry is a mess in terms of accessible data. It was the biggest pain point. API's would randomly chan

I tend to run: python -m http.server 0.0.0.0:8000 That should allow you to access it externally.

Great list. I use a few of these on all projects. Interestingly, django-webpack-loader has completely replaced django-compressor and all the other static bundlers. I like how configurable webpack is and how much control it gives you. Anyone

Django Rest Framework is one of the reasons i use django so much. It is done in a really solid way, allowing great power and flexibility over how you want to abstract your rest API. I've used tastypie before, but got the feeling it was

Most of this is to do with the customer support, and not really about the actual laptop. But... It is annoying when things go wrong and you have to deal with poor customer service and you feel like you are constantly battling the company. I

Great link. Just finished reading through it and I feel more educated on typography. At the very least I now have a better feel of the lingo and vocabulary which surrounds typography. Thanks.

This really isn't why the JavaScript community is fucked. It's just a reference project for others to learn from. The spreading of information and ideas through code doesn't mean anyone's fucked. Why fucked? Are you read

"Post Job -> Magic Happens = Perfect Candidate". Well that's helpful. Don't see any indication of this "magic" is. I know, I know, once you know the magic it's not special anymore... but I think I want

Am I the only one that much prefers command line git to all these fancy tools for git? I'm more than happy with the power that terminal commands give alongside the visuals of branches and commits in bitbucket/github/gitlab et

I fully agree. I had that "click" moment with react that really made larger, more complex interfaces seem manageable. Granted that it's still not easy, but most of the time complex apps are tricky to develop and maintain, mak

This is a pretty neat idea, and I could see myself using this in day to day life. It's nice to see real thought, study and execution into new ways of portraying things that have the possibility of becoming stale. While maps and their f

Sure, a few years ago the difference between browsers was really quite large. But we're in 2017 and most of the most used browsers are mostly in line with the supported features and expected behaviour of them. But... safari is now the

Typically I use it to create illustration style renders that I use within pages. I create a lot of complex isometric diagrams for my current job that are interactive. So I create them in blender, chop them up, then load them in with WebGL o

Yet again I'm amazed by blenders progress. I've been a 'hobby 3d artist' for the past decade and find it incredibly useful in my full time job (front end dev). Blender to me is a shining example of an open source project

This is the real reason why I've stayed with Ubuntu for many, many years. It was my first entry into Linux years ago and I've never had any reason to switch to another distro. I also like that I can use the same OS on my servers a

I used to working with AS3 and was always confused about the amount of hate that was thrown it's way. I found most things about the development flow very nice and it was a brilliant abstraction that HTML and JS just didn't provide

Not really. There is the "channels" project which brings it closer to proper websocket capabilities, but it still isn't great to work with. I tried using it for a production project and gave up as I encountered too many issue
