Re:Ask HN: Best provider for sending transactional emails? on Thursday July 27, 2017 @02:14AM (#14863034)
I can't which one is the best. But we use MailGun and we are not happy with it. We will probably switch to Postmark.

Ask HN: How to run test in Django with remote PostgreSQL DB?

I have remote DB which works perfectly fine with the app. But when I run tests I have these two errors:RuntimeWarning: Normally Django will use a connection to the 'postgres' database to avoid running initialization queries against the production database when it's not needed (for example, when running tests).

If you miss coding for month or two you will need to start over. It's not like learning skiing. You have to sharpen your coding skills on a daily basis.

You are too kind and very naive. By what you wrote, those people are taking advantage of you and abusing your knowledge and time. You supposed to say something while ago. They saw that you are not making any comments and you are not raising your voice. And then they thought, OK let's use this guy as much as we can. If they weren't thinking like that, they would offer you a fair compensation long time ago. If there was not enough cash, then at least in some shares. Their plan was to use you to the point where you are not needed anymore. And I think that is when they employed new full time CTO. I think it is too late to do anything now. If you don't have anything on paper you will gain nothing for you previous work.

Thank you very much for your reply! It is very informative and useful. Somewhere in back of my head I presumed all of this. But I didn't know that comments can be also down-voted. Anyways thank you for all of these details!

Very nice design and UX. I like it. What would be nice to have is a switch (like remote switch) for part-time jobs. Keep up the good work! And thank you for this service!
Re:Ask HN: Why is law stuff seemingly against normal people? on Tuesday January 31, 2017 @07:55AM (#13530097)
Elites (lawyers, bankers, doctors etc.) are the ones who create laws and they do it on purpose to make lower class underprivileged.
Why somebody would do something like that when there are python, ruby, Django and other cool stuff.

Please no politics here. Don't bring dirt here. Please.

python/Django dev Vienna, Austria.
If you use an API or some backend for the app, be sure that you covered all bottlenecks and that you can scale.
