I am hopeful that r/positivepython will lead to good things. I have given up on a few other python and django sub-reddit. Also, we have a DjangoCon US announcement on there to boot: reddit.com/r/positivepython/

I'm debating writing an article on how to take the edge off of the bird site. 🐦 πŸ”‡ Show more

Oh, erm, a Follow Friday snuck up on me. #ff

@leah is my fellow instance admin and generally super cool.

@cassolotl has cool advice for newcomers and is great for engaging conversations.

@kaniini is great to follow if you want to understand more stuff about the Fediverse, including criticism of the parts and the whole thing.

@MacLemon and @phessler are my window to all things BSD.

@phildini and @webology provide the same for the Django/Python world (honorary mention to @rami there).

Hey friends, it's been a while. I hope everyone is going ok. Happy Friday, we made it!

Tried steaming veggies a few different ways in my Instant Pot tonight for meal prep. I prefer using the steam mode for a minute over using the Manual mode at 0 minutes. The later was mushy, and barely salvageable.

Spending my feeling under the weather. This will not get in the way of my πŸ€ picks though.

My son's daycare informed us that they are using a third-party service to send us photos and daily updates. It's all private and works well unless you don't use www, but this is what I do for a living so of course it makes me grumpy.

Btw, this is unrelated to the technology-related non-profit. I'm just not enjoying the grind anymore for one of my other non-profits.

I'm starting to get more and more greedy with my time. I'm a board member for multiple non-profits, and I'm starting to feel the drain. The drain being meeting, discussing topics, then seeing post-meeting resolutions which don't even closely resemble the outcomes discussed. At what point do you just say that I'm done because I think I'm there? That's probably answering my question but maybe saying it out loud is all I needed to do.

Today is a good reminder of why I want to carve out time to focus on completing an MVP of [Prorality](github.com/jefftriplett/proral).

I can't see Dockerfiles anymore without seeing ways to optimizing caching, layers, and overall image size. This might be a problem.

Fwiw, I am a fan of the Instant Pot. Buy one when it's on sale though, but it's worth it and much less of a mess than without one.

This week I made this broccoli
and cheddar soup: adventuresofanurse.com/2016/12

It was alright, but next week I'm going to try pipingpotcurry.com/instant-pot or a variation of the two.

We made a really nice queso earlier in the week but everything else was code with a few half snow days with my son.

How was your week?

Work has been a struggle lately. Good struggle, but it's kind of all-in or nothing, or everyone wants everything at once. I'm happy with the boundaries I have set, but I'm still tired AF from it.

Final count was:

Every time I learn a new Docker trick, I spend hours updating projects to prove or disprove what I just learned. You know, typical Tuesday night.
