,Just as most people are not going to stop eating fast food because home cooking is better, they’re not going to abandon social media because blogging is awesome. But that doesn’t mean you have to line up for a Big Mac. And it doesn’t mean your internet experience has to suck --Mike Grindle
Normal working week. Improved media file backup for django-cast (#99) and wrote a TIL blog post about how to test Django management commands with pytest. Attended a rust meetup for the first time and am now looking for a use case for rust as it seems to be really cool (I learned static typing via Java and got burned, but static typing in rust is much better - might be time to revisit that).
