Looking back at Django on the Med 🏖️ 2026 I haven’t been to a programming conference in a really long time.

Weeknotes (2026 week 37) Tonight the temperature will drop to 10°C.

Weeknotes (2026 week 33) Holidays and the heat wave I had four weeks of holidays this summer.

Migrating from FeinCMS to feincms3 FeinCMS is still actively maintained, but development, bugfixes and new features mostly land on feincms3 and django-content-editor these days, not on FeinCMS itself.

Weeknotes (2026 week 27) The last entry in this series was published 10 weeks ago so it really is time for another review of the releases I did during this time.

The 2026 way of using importmaps in Django I last wrote about Django, JavaScript modules and importmaps in May 2025, slightly over a year ago.

«Anything new?»

Avoiding empty JavaScript files in CSS-only entrypoints from rspack builds I previously wrote about my preferred way of integrating Django with rspack.

Weeknotes (2026 week 17) I published the last entry near the beginning of March.

Switching all of my Python packages to PyPI trusted publishing As I have teased on Mastodon, I’m switching all of my packages to PyPI trusted publishing.

LLMs for Open Source maintenance: a cautious case When ChatGPT appeared on the scene I was very annoyed at all the hype surrounding it.

Weeknotes (2026 week 11) Last time I wrote that I seem to be publishing weeknotes monthly.

Podcasts I like listening to (2026 edition) I have published another post like this almost two years ago.

My 2025 in review I have been inspired by several posts where people reviewed the past year to write such a post too.

Rich text editors: How restrictive can we be?

Weeknotes (2025 week 49) I seem to be publishing weeknotes monthly, so I’m now thinking about renaming the category :-) Mosparo I have started using a self-hosted mosparo instance for my captcha needs.

Thoughts about Django-based content management systems I have almost exclusively used Django for implementing content management systems (and other backends) since 2008.

Weeknotes (2025 week 45) Autumn is nice I love walking through the forest with all the colors and the rustling when you walk through the leaves on the ground.

Weeknotes (2025 week 43) I published the last weeknotes entry in the first half of September.

My favorite Django packages Inspired by other posts I also wanted to write up a list of my favorite Django packages.

LLMs are making me a better programmer… I’m still undecided about LLMs for programming.
