Ah, GitHub is previewing a new PR overview page / UX... Hold onto your butts.

Not sure if people are aware, but there's been an increase in #GitHub suspending accounts. When this happens, their created issues disappear because the account is effectively disappeared. Beyond that, when it happens to a person who is a sole maintainer of a project, the impact is extremely high. We've seen at least two #Django community members have this happen to them in the last six months. I hadn't heard of this happening in my N years before that.

My bad gatekeeping take: the mark of a true developer is buying a domain and never using it.

Is there a better gif for deploying than "hold onto your butts"? 🦖 🦕 https://media1.tenor.com/m/aIZrrqGuOFwAAAAd/hold-on-to-your-butts-jurrasic-park.gif

Time for a new ✨ #introduction

My name is Tim. I'm a software engineer. I'm heavily involved in Django. I'm helping with Djangonaut Space, Django Commons and the Steering Council. I also help maintain a few packages and maintain a blog at https://www.better-simple.com

Outside of software, I've got a pair of cats (Beef and Roland) that I'll post about. I'm a big fan of charcuterie boards, brewing beer, gardening, making hot sauce and roasting coffee.
