He's using Django, so most likely Django Migrations which is built into that framework. If you're using Flask, you're probably using Alembic with SQLAlchemy. Those are the two main ways to handle schema migrations in Python.

I really enjoyed your post too! I would be interested in more details around the "100s of hours". I want to try a k8s setup like yours, but after investing those 100s of hours into my Flask setup it's hard to justify spending

> Time in IDE/Editor is easy to quantify, time thinking about solving the problem is not. That's the key. To find the time thinking just fill in the gaps between the time spent coding. For ex, the GIF in this post https:/

These estimates are time spent *thinking* about programming. The average dev doesn't get to code a full 8 hours per day. On average from WakaTime data, devs spend only 1-2 hours per day actually typing code. With 261 working days per y

Yep, same experience with Spaces here. That's why we use Spaces for backups only, since it's very affordable and backups don't need millisecond latency. https://wakatime.com/blog/46-latency-of-digitalocea

Maybe they have support tiers? Every time I created a support ticket I got a response within an hour from a technical person. Their support responds much faster than AWS in my experiences.

Nothing is perfect. We use DigitalOcean Droplets because they're more bang-for-buck than AWS EC2 instances, especially if you're doing a lot of disk IO. However, even though it's more expensive we use AWS S3 instead of Digita

It's the same JavaScript running, just hosted on your domain instead of externally. The JS shouldn't support eval, which is unfortunately a common way to display ads in networks with embedded external scripts. Version updates can

You can render client side too, the key is no external JavaScript is being trusted to run on the page. That ofc means the common practice of advertisers pasting a JavaScript snippet, the network doing a review process, then rendering that s

I'm very selective with the external scripts allowed on my websites. Ad networks are notorious for running malicious JavaScript on popular sites like NYTimes[1] and Yahoo[2] home pages. Any plans for an API so sites can receive ad cont

I use https://wakatime.com to automatically track the project and task I'm working on. It's a plugin in your IDE, so it can detect your project.

What I really care about is the time it takes to input tasks. The demo app link has a record button with a difficult to use form. Is there a faster way to start/stop the timer?

That's why we integrated with 4 payment providers. We use a common Quote object that knows how to "apply" itself to subscriptions on all 3 (GitHub is inverse) providers. 1. Stripe 2. Braintree 3. Coinbase Commerce 4. GitHub M

Not sure, but I know other companies use multiple payment providers too usually for redundancy. We would use Stripe for everything, except Stripe doesn't have the ability to accept BTC or PayPal. For the same reasons as rwieruch's
