SEEKING WORK | The Netherlands | Remote (anywhere)

I have almost 10 years experience with Python/Django and worked with many tools/technologies/libraries related to it (Vue, pytest, various CI/CD tools, docker, htmx, alpine, websockets etc). I especially love to dive into odd bugs and optimize slow queries/functions. I am a big fan of testing and documenting.

I maintain a few applications for clients (as the sole developer), but can also work well within a team.

My Github profile with some open source work: https://github.com/GDay. I maintain a fairly popular background worker for Django and have open sourced one of my SaaS applications.

Re:Show HN: I made a HTMX Playground 100% in the browser on Monday January 08, 2024 @07:04AM (#38910814)
I have been using HTMX with Django for over 3 years on multiple (client) projects.

In 99% of the cases, it works just fine. In the 1% of highly interactive components that aren’t working well with HTMX, you can just put in some Vue or alpineJS. whichever works best for you.

I have migrated all of my own and client apps from a decoupled Vue/django setup to HTMX. It was a ton of work, but it’s awesome having a clean setup with no node modules.

Writing docs/tests (where applicable) is important to me. I, unfortunately, won't work on a project if tests are not part of the plan. If you currently have an existing app without tests, then I am happy to write those for you.

Raising them with good values doesn't mean that they will keep those throughout their life, unfortunately. Quite risky to bet on that.

Could you elaborate on that? I don’t get it.

What animals do in the wild is vastly different from what we do to animals.

It’s about the cruelty that happens in the animal industry. Minks, dogs, gooses, cows, pigs, horses, camels and a lot more. Watching that has changed my life quite a bit.

Re:Removal of Heroku free product plans on Thursday August 25, 2022 @05:52PM (#32600399)
> Can anyone clarify what the minimum cost of say, a demo Django project would be now? I come up with $16/month, using a $7 dyno and a $9 postgres instance. Is that accurate?

Yeah, that's accurate. If you need a worker (like celery), then that's another $7, as that's an extra dyno. If you need redis, then that will be another $15.

> Also, if you're testing the deployment process, what's the minimum charge? Say I push a project, test it to see that the deployment worked, and then destroy the project in less than three minutes. Will I be charged for three minutes of resources, or is there some hourly/daily/monthly minimum? I can't find that kind of info anywhere.

They charge you per minute (or per second?) iirc.

Re:Ask HN: Are you leaving Heroku? on Wednesday August 24, 2022 @12:49PM (#32582164)
Maybe Scalingo? They do have PITR. Very similar to Heroku. I plan to move to them in the near future (also Django app with Postgres).

Sorry, just saw your comment now.

Multiple reasons, but here is why: https://chiefonboarding.com/blog/going-open-source

AGLPv3 permits anyone that makes changes to it to open source it. This makes sure that all code will stay open source and a company can't just run with it and perhaps resell it without making it open source too.
