@simon lovely piece. Your voice really comes through reading it. 🥰

Pretty sure the "EU Revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2)" **does not** require me to re-enter my password and 2FA creds EVERY SINGLE TIME I change a view.

Related: do we think anyone from Stripe actually uses their own website or mobile app? 🤔

Thanks @paulox 🚀

@jwa @wsvincent Would love to see them! People threaten, but it never seems to happen 😜

@wsvincent There were some of the bits removed like form tools, and comments… but GFBVs were the big one I guess.

(In case you're wondering, IMO: The old GFBVs weren't fun.)

@wsvincent Thanks sweetheart 😊

@wsvincent they were deprecated in 1.3 and removed in 1.5.

Here's the deprecation note from the 1.3 release notes: docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/

@Migueldeicaza it’s OK. There’s a new Copilot beta coming up 😅

@davidsmith This may mean I'm deploying off of django/main until December 😅

People say the UK economy isn’t working. I think it is.

If you take a hit to competitiveness (such as Brexit) you have to cut real incomes.

You can either do that with unemployment or inflation. Unemployment hurts more. The UK economy was built around flexibility to avoid that.

So inflation. All going to plan.

@adamchainz I hadn’t read that. Looks good too!

I enjoyed Grid Garden, as I was able to complete it in what otherwise would have been “I’m too tired for something new” time.

@jeremygibson It’s amazing isn’t it 🤩

TIL: My favourite resources for learning CSS Grid.

@erinrachel Thank you for posting! 🥳

Thought for the weekend:

@felixxm The day is young. There's still time! ⏰

@erinrachel Great post! I enjoyed the About You section at the bottom too 🙂

@eevee In my day we just called those "comments" 🥳
