Make Failure A (Safe) Option
Your gut instinct is probably to wait to delegate some work until you’re fully confident that the person can handle it. This is often a mistake. Instead of withholding a delegation opportunity from someone because they might fail, you should instead create a situation where failure will be safe. -

What's delegation?
Most managers know that delegation is part of their job, but the vast majority of management texts are incredibly non-specific about what delegation means. So today I’m beginning a series on delegation to try to fill this gap. I’ll cover the principles and theories that guide how I think about delegation, ending with a concrete example: how to delegate meeting attendance. To kick things off: what does delegation mean? -

Django Implied Relationship
A little while ago, Alec McGavin put up a post on the Kogan blog about [Custom Relationships in Django](https://devblog.kogan.com/blog/custom-relationships-in-django). This is a really cool way to get a relationship in Django that exists in the database, but cannot be modelled correctly in Django. For instance, this could be data in the database that does not have a Foreign Key, either because it's legacy data, or because it's possible either side of the relationship might be added to the database before the other, rather than the normal order in a database where the target table of the FK is always added to first. However, I have another slighly different situation where an implied relationship exists, but should not be stored directly. Consider the following data structures: {% highlight python %} class Employee(models.Model): name = models.TextField() class EmploymentPeriod(models.Model): employee = models.ForeignKey( Employee, related_name='employment_periods', on_delete=models.CASCADE, ) valid_period = DateRangeField() class Meta: constraints = [ ExclusionConstraint( name='employment_overlap', expressions=[ ('employee', RangeOperators.EQUAL), ('valid_period', RangeOperators.OVERLAPS), ] ) ] class Shift(models.Model): employee = models.ForeignKey( Employee, related_name='shifts', on_delete=models.CASCADE, ) date = models.DateField() start_time = models.TimeField() duration = models.DurationField() employment_period = Relationship( EmploymentPeriod, from_fields=['employee', 'date'], to_fields=['employee', 'valid_period'], ) @property def start(self): return datetime.datetime.combine(self.date, self.start_time) @property def finish(self): return self.start + … -
Django File Uploads: How to Upload Images and Files
Today I'm going to cover how to add user document and image file uploads to your Django project as a simple HTML form and Django ModelForm. I'm using Bootstrap 5 for some basic styling. Django Media Files First configure your media upload settings before creating and uploading the form. Add Media URL to Django settings mysite > mysite > settings.py MEDIA_URL = '/media/' MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media') Head over to the settings.py file and specify the MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT. They are not specified by default. Install Pillow Windows Command Prompt (env) C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\Code\env\mysite> pip install Pillow Also install Pillow for media upload support. Add Media URL to Django URLs mysite > mysite > urls.py from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import path, include from django.conf import settings #add this from django.conf.urls.static import static #add this urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('', include ('main.urls')), ] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) Next, go to the mysite > urls.py and add the helper function above. Keep in mind it only works when DEBUG is set to True and the URL specified in the settings is local (i.e. /media/ not https://media.site.com/). Now, when an image is uploaded in development, it is added to a … -
