Weeknotes (2021 week 12)
Weeknotes (2021 week 12) Not much open source work this week. The final thesis and presentation for the CAS in Interaction Design was due. I learned a lot but for now I’m just glad that it’s over. I’m looking forward to relearning how to do “nothing” on weekends. FeinCMS 1.20 Some FeinCMS 1.x ItemEditor element attributes clashed with new IDs introduced in Django 3.1. The new version of FeinCMS fixes this. feincms3 Fixed a few problems in the new inline CKEditor widget for the Django admin. An oversight made it impossible to add CKEditor instances with different configurations. Luckily enough this only affected beta/preview releases :-) -
“Fair” Doesn't Mean “Equal”
Some conversations about my previous piece brought me back to one of the earliest lessons I learned in my management career. It’s a realization that’s embarrassingly obvious in hindsight: treating people fairly doesn’t mean treating everyone the same. -

How I built API for iOS Feeds in 10 minutes
<![CDATA[ How I built API for iOS Feeds in 10 minutes Recently I added an API to my iOS Feeds project and I would like to share what it took to create it. Because I am mostly involved in the iOS development community I wanted to share a story from "the other side". If I had no experience with backends, I would think that these are always pretty complicated and involve a lot of moving parts.. So I want to show that that's not the case. If you select the right tools anyway. iOS Feeds runs on Django and it wouldn't be that hard to build the API without any packages. However since Django Rest Framework (DRF) exists and it is wonderful package, I decided go to with it. While I have a lot of experience with Django itself, DRF is different story. Anyway, let's see how I added the API. Django projects are usually separated into a smaller parts called "apps". So I created new API apps with this command: python3 manage.py startapp api And of course install the package: pip install djangorestframework This will do the basic scaffolding. Next I went by the DRF tutorial and created serializers.py … -
How managers should respond to defensiveness after feedback
I had a call a few weeks ago with a friend and fellow engineering manager, and we spent most of it talking about someone on her team who wasn’t responding well to feedback. He was performing several parts of his job pretty poorly, but when each time she told him that his work wasn’t acceptable, he pushed back. He argued, sometimes loudly, and refused to make the changes that she was asking for. My friend came to me pretty frustrated, not entirely sure how to respond to this guy. Most managers know this feeling: they’re doing their job as a manager, giving clear, specific, professional feedback but it’s going poorly. What should you do in a situation like this? -

Where do I begin? (repost)
This is a repost of an article I originally wrote for the Imaginary Realities e-zine, Volume 7, issue 3 back in 2015. It's not Evennia-specific but meant for a wider audience interested in making a text-based multiplayer game (MUD/MU*). Since IR is no longer active, I repost it here with only some minor cleanup. Where do I begin?by Griatch (image from deviantart.com/griatch-art)When a new user has everything installed and drops into Evennia’s IRC support chat or mailing list, there is one question that we regularly get in various variations: “Where do I begin?”How to actually start down that long road towards your own game is an important question. Unfortunately it has no one-size-fits-all answer. So it usually leads to a series of counter-questions. In this article I will try to (without being Evennia-specific) pose those questions in a way that would not fit in a chat window. What is your motivation for doing this?So you want to make a game. First you need to make a few things clear to yourself. Making a multiplayer online game is a big undertaking. You will (if you are like most of us) be doing it as a hobby, without getting paid. And you’ll be doing … -
Weeknotes (2021 week 11)
Weeknotes (2021 week 11) django-simple-redirects Django‘s built-in django.contrib.redirects app has a hard dependency on django.contrib.sites. I’m a big fan of NOT hardcoding the current site into the database or into settings except where absolutely necessary. Because of this I extracted the parts I liked into a standalone package with a questionable and needlessly derogatory name a few years ago. The old package is still around (no need to break setups) but the package has been renamed to django-simple-redirects, cleaned up for current versions of Python and Django and also been uploaded to PyPI. django-simple-redirects on PyPI django-simple-redirects on GitHub CKEditor instances in Django’s admin interface without IFRAMEs Currently incubating in feincms3. I have a strong dislike for scrollables inside scrollables, the proposed interface is much better. Of course I’m still thinking about reimplementing the whole editing interface using ProseMirror, but oh well… maybe another time, when I do not have any projects for months to come. -
