How to Simplify Django Migrations and Deployment
When removing fields from Django models, or adding non-nullable fields, it can be hard to avoid a mismatch between code running on some servers and the database in use. By using django-add-default-value and django-deprecate-fields to simplify the migration and deployment process, you will eliminate a common Django deployment headache. This has been a challenge for a while now. Believe it or not, Django ticket #470 has been open since 2005! Broken Columns Suppose you've removed one or more fields from Django models, maybe because you're cleaning up old code and they are no longer needed. Whatever the reason may be, Django will create migrations to remove those columns from their database tables. As soon as you run those migrations on any server, those columns will be gone from the database. This can be problematic because any servers running the older code that still references those columns will break. The Workaround There’s an interesting way to keep those columns from breaking. Using django-deprecate-fields makes it safe to migrate the database while all servers are still running old code. Instead of deleting the field from your model code, you wrap its definition in deprecate_field() like this: name = deprecate_field(models.CharField(max_length=50)) Then, makemigrations. deprecate_field … -

My Software Estimation Technique
Last time, I explained that, although estimating software project timelines is hard, you should do it anyway. With that background, I want to go into some detail and share the technique I use when I need to develop a project timeline. I don’t believe there’s a single “correct” technique; this is one system that works well for me. However, my system does have one critical characteristic that I believe any effective estimation technique should have: it captures both time and uncertainty. -

Django Engineer Interview Script
I have worked as a Python/Django backend engineer for more than a decade. Which puts me in a “senior” role in any team I usually join. As a result, I get involved in the recruitment process. I.e. to look for someone who would then become a team mate. This post is about questions I ask a prospective Python/Django backend engineer. A prospect with 2+ years of experience doing Python/Django backend development full-time. The prospective engineer would be working in my team. With me. Not for me. So the questions aim to help me to answer the fundamental “Would I want to work with this person?” question. Below I go through what I look for in each question. Note that unlike a “hackerrank” style assessment, these questions look for qualitative attributes. Answers do not have a completely correct/wrong answer. The way in which the candidate answers is more important than the answer itself. Self-intro Allow the candidate to go over their career trajectory. Have them delve deep into some projects they are proud to have been part of. Allow them to expand on specific processes/tools used. This will provide you with loose ends to relate the below questions with. Q1. How … -
