Naïvité FTW

Daniele Procida explores how a certain naivety (being unsophisticated) can lead to beautiful and useful things.

Update 2021-08-15: the original video from DjangoCon 2018 is not available any more. It seems Daniele gave a similar talk at EuroPython 2018 also.

Exciting Unlimited Register Machines

A brief and entertaining talk by an obviously excited presenter. 🙂 It goes into the same directions as Jim Weirich’s talk about the Y combinator.

AR create_with

I knew there was AR’s 

find_or_create_by

  method but I didn’t know it had a very useful companion 

create_with

 .

@something ||= SomeModel.create_with(some: "stuff").find_or_create_by(foo: "bar")

This will either find a record  

SomeModel.where(foo: "bar")

  or create it with 

SomeModel.create(foo: "bar", some: "stuff")

 . Very useful.

TSA’s Random Lane Picker

This is so moronic I almost fell off my chair laughing: it seems like the TSA spent $47,000 on a “random lane picker.” Please, you be the judge whether it was worth it:
