Managing a Django Project with Poetry
Poetry is relatively new packaging and dependency manager. It makes it very easy to upload libraries to PyPI, manage dependencies visually, and has a couple of handy features. Today, I'm not going to do a deep dive into how Poetry works and all its features. Today I just want to focus on how to configure it for a Django project. -

That Wild Ask A Manager Story
Ask A Manager had a wild story a week ago. A company interviewed someone, hired him, but when he showed up for work … it was a totally different person. A friend asked, “if this was your hire, and you manager asked you to change your hiring practices to prevent this, what would you do?” Nothing. I would do nothing. Here’s why. -

Speaking at Python Web Conf
During the week of March 21-25 at Python Web Conf I'm giving my first public conference talk in three years. I'm both excited and apprehensive about returning to the speaker's podium. To me, public speaking is like a roller coaster ride. The climb up the first hill (or minute when it comes to speaking) is absolutely terrifying. Then as soon as the car accelerates (or I begin to speak), endorphins kick in. I go from struggling not to visibly tremble from fear to shaking with excitement. Hint: Use code Speaker15@PWC2022 to get 15% off your ticket costs. The talk I'm going to give is titled, "Confessions of Joe Developer". Here's the synoposis: Over the course of 17 years of professional Python development at Octopus Energy, NASA, and various agencies, Daniel Roy Greenfeld has picked up a lot of easy tricks stolen from the best and brightest in the software community that make him look good in front of his peers and colleagues. And now, at great risk to his career and reputation, he is going to show you how he does it. What that description doesn't tell you is that I came up with the core concepts of that talk … -
Announcing WhiteNoise 6
WhiteNoise is a simple solution to serving static assets. It lets you skip configuring a separate web server for your static assets, and serve them straight from Django. It’s a brilliant tool. I’ve used it for years on various projects, and I’ve recommended it many times, and mentioned it in several blog posts. WhiteNoise was created by Dave Evans in 2013. I’ve met Dave several times at the London Django Meetup. Recently the project’s maintenance was getting a bit backlogged, so I volunteered to help and Dave accepted :) I got to work adding support for modern Python and Django versions, dropping old ones, and merging in a few feature requests. I just released these accumulated changes as version 6.0.0. Nothing drastic has changed for the major version bump - most users should not be affected. setuptools’s python_requires field also ensures users on outdated Python versions still install older WhiteNoise versions. But there are enough changes that it felt like a major number was needed, and version numbers are cheap. Here are the changelog entries for 6.0.0: Drop support for Python 3.5 and 3.6. Add support for Python 3.9 and 3.10. Drop support for Django 1.11, 2.0, and 2.1. Add … -
