I have been working towards a #Django starter template that solves a lot of my problems. Figured I would share ;)
This template focuses on the frontend and includes things like #HTMX #DjangoChannels #Playwright and a few more of my favorite tools.

Nicolas Charpentier · How to Easily Reproduce a Flaky Test in Playwright | Nicolas CharpentierStop playing whack-a-mole with flaky Playwright tests by using CPU throttling to reliably reproduce CI failures on your local machine.
trying out #cryptpad since google and ms are simps for fascism now.
i am pleased! it even has dark mode!
I recently wrote my first #Playwright tests.
When I run them with "npx playwright test --ui", they always pass.
When I run them with "npx playwright test", there is usually one test that fails.
Anybody have an idea what might be going on here? Thanks!
If you are working with #Django and curious about how to test your #HTMX frontends, then #PreludeTech's next "Modern frontend development with Django, HTMX, #Tailwind, #Playwright and #AlpineJS " learning sprint could be exactly what you need.
You'll learn about how to apply #TDD while building and debugging modern, interactive frontends.
Your logs are lying to you - metrics are meaner and better.
Everyone loves logs… until the incident postmortem reads like bad fan fiction.
Most teams start with expensive log aggregation, full-text searching their way into oblivion. So much noise. So little signal. And still, no clue what actually happened. Why? Because writing meaningful logs is a lost art.
Logs are like candles, nice for mood lighting, useless in a house fire.
If you need traces to understand your system, congratulations: you're already in hell.
Let me introduce my favourite method: real-time, metric-driven user simulation aka "Overwatch".
Here's how you do it:
Set up a service that runs real end-to-end user workflows 24/7. Use Cypress, Playwright, Selenium… your poison of choice.
Every action creates a timed metric tagged with the user workflow and action.
Now you know exactly what a user did before everything went up in flames.
Use Grafana + InfluxDB (or other tools you already use) to build dashboards that actually tell stories:
* How fast are user workflows?
* Which steps are breaking, and how often?
* What's slower today than yesterday?
* Who's affected, and where?
Alerts now mean something.
Incidents become surgical strikes, not scavenger hunts.
Bonus: run the same system on every test environment and detect regressions before deployment. And if you made it reusable, you can even run the service to do load tests.
No need to buy overpriced tools. Just build a small service like you already do, except this one might save your soul.
And yes, transform logs into metrics where possible. Just hash your PII data and move on.
Stop guessing. Start observing.
Metrics > Logs. Always.
#PreludeTech's next weekend learning sprint on 10/11 May.

Dear African devs (and anyone else who finds my stuff too pricey),
I generally price my training so that folks in richer countries find them reasonable, but I know that excludes a lot of my homies. I aim to open doors.
If you are keen to take part, but can't afford to, please fill in this form: https://buff.ly/3RwCeWT I'll try to help you.
