Ohhh ok that model which is about to bubble up as a feature of yet another app in this Django project? That could be in its own app maybe.

Some of this is almost starting to make sense.

Kitten Steam library vote update: Jack prefers to watch 4X games, Barry enjoys space, flying, and similar exploration games. If it’s an FPS they’ll both try to help.

Cute, yes?

They nap on the low profile keyboards. They unplug this one. Getting some right-angled cables hoping they won’t unplug me so often.

No they can stay on the desk. I like the company.

So turns out even a fairly low-key workflow library can help with articulating and enforcing the state-machine-ish aspects of your average nontrivial web app.

I’d write a screed about mypy but it would just be me typing “SCREEEEE”

No it’s fine. It’s fine. Folks put a lot of work into it and get a lot of value out of it. Clearly the problem lies with me.

now where was i oh yes

SCREEEEEEEE

Got taskwarrior + vimwiki + taskwiki playing nice with each other, so that’s cool.

So the first non-toy item destruction from the kitties, with the untimely loss of a glass serving dish.

Well, not quite first. “RIP curtains” was pretty early on.

15 seconds to remove the menu item. Three — sorry, four — hours to get tests passing again because that was a pretty core menu item for the old flow.

Don’t know why Django forms continue to baffle me, but they do. Took all day to get a ModelChoiceField test from how my brain was convinced it should work to how it should actually work.

NMS still hitting fast and frequent with those updates. Not quite perfect yet, though.

The persistent Django question: how many apps in one project is too many?

Made a couple Gherkin feature files for this new corner of the project. Started working on the lower level stuff so I can connect them to code and things are moving so fast and OMG IS THIS WHAT IT’S LIKE TO HAVE PROJECT REQUIREMENTS WHAT A WORLD

Installing Office on the Linux partition via Crossover because it’s important to me that folks are confused by my computer no matter what operating system they’re familiar with.

Wish the radio station would stop playing these 20-30 year old songs because I am not in a nostalgic —

Tired but also pleased with myself. Those Gherkin files are real handy for describing features and building browser tests, but I couldn’t think of how to share with coworkers that don’t live in text files.

So I tried Pickles and now they have a navigable Word version of the descriptions.
