And of course you can build great software without LLMs. If your preferred workflow is to type the code I think there’s nothing wrong with that at all. The “you’re being left behind” narrative is ridiculous. Use the tools if they help you, don’t if they don’t. Everyone needs to grow up, man.
I couldn't find a native MacOS SQLite browser that I really liked using, so... I made my own. 😅
Very heavily inspired by Postico, SQLiteo is pure Swift, as fast as possible, and intuitive to use.

"Be kind, be involved, believe in your art," he said. "At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn't matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it's that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters."

@universalorl.bsky.social @universalstudiosfl.bsky.social Check out this actual stained glass panel based on the piece in the Tribute store above the registers at HHN 34 in Orlando. 😍
There are over 800 pieces of glass and 15 different colors and it took 2.5 weeks of working around 2-8 hours/day!
Stained glass panel of the Grady Sisters from The Shining, standing on the iconic orange and red patterned carpet. The background is clear glass with red streaks, as if from blood.
My wife creates a lot of #stainedglass projects that are a little outside the norm. 👻
Here is one she made before #Halloween to pay homage to Stanley Kubrick's classic #film, The Shining.

My man 💪
Sometimes you only want a field to show when certain other fields have a (particular) value. The `form-show-if` web component enables that.
After over 4 months of development, django-tasks 0.9.0 is out! 🥳
- Django 6.0 support
- RQ optimisations
- Dropped `enqueue_on_commit` support
- A number of renames and refactors to match upstream Django
A small set of changes, but one of the largest diffs to date!
