I think it has to do with the times. Because sl admin came up in a pre DRF time when people use Django to serve templates, the work to build it into the framework came more naturally. With lots of more modern web app frameworks mainly focusing on just being APIs for single page applications, having html templates and stuff in the core project and having contributors build this stuff in doesn’t happen as naturally.
I totally agree though- huge selling point of Django!
Funny that this is the exact opposite of "Speed matters: Why working quickly is more important than it seems" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36312295) from a couple days ago here.
Both speed and "slow productivity" have their place depending on the type of work you do.
I think for junior and mid level ICs, and leadership/management focused people (maybe even senior ICs), speed is paramount.
For staff/principal roles, the balance shifts toward being able to be able to focus more singularly on very challenging problems.
I don't think they are opposite. There's a difference between rushing to do something, and shortening the feedback loop. It says "slow productivity" but learning enough martial arts in 4 months to look good in a film doesn't sound slow to me, it sounds like he shortened the feedback loop as much as possible by learning every single day instead maybe once a week like a normal person would.
> It says "slow productivity" but learning enough martial arts in 4 months to look good in a film doesn't sound slow to me
Remember the kung fu scenes in Matrix? It's not the first time Reeves has trained in martial arts. This time he crammed in a particular martial art for this movie.
Tbh I'd bet he practices something regularly, just not often enough for it to make the news.
“I think for junior and mid level ICs, and leadership/management focused people (maybe even senior ICs), speed is paramount.”
Why? I would argue they need to move slower and methodically so they understand what they are doing instead of thrashing a bunch of crappy code that has to be fixed by others.
More experienced people can move faster because they are doing tasks that have parallels to prior tasks. For example, Keanu Reaves was able to singularly focus on “gun fu” as he is an experienced actor for whom remembering lines and handling himself on set is second nature, requiring less effort than from a rookie actor.
Maybe for consumer apps, but for a lot of enterprise apps that have to be compatible with existing APIs or domain-specific data standard that require two name fields, that’s not really a viable approach.

I applaud your ambition, but i can’t imagine how this would be work. You’re employed full time, you’re in grad school full time, and you’re a new father—- how would you actually have any time to do an internship? How much time you could actually give? How would you be able to concentrate enough to learn the concepts and apply them to actually be a net contributor to the company after a certain amount of time? As someone who who has hired many interns and seen some work out and others not, I don’t see that you’re setup for success- and the type of team that would bring you on in this situation likely wouldn’t be one you would want to learn from.
I don’t know all of your situation, but if I we’re looking at your profile, having an internship as a software engineer would make think you’re more de-risked as a hire than having a grad degree.
Apple Airpod Pros -- long battery life, near instant bluetooth tethering. Even other expensive headphones/earbuds (Bose) for instance could not compete with the ease of use, noise cancellation, and comfort.
I don't think about headphones anymore, they just work the way they're supposed to.
You all might want to read about long term irreversible health effects (read: hearing loss) of in-ear speakers (irrespective of which company makes/markets them).
I think that's incorrect. All the research discussed in-ear headphones that are not noise-cancelling, which lead people to turn up the volume to drown out background noise, which leads to hearing damage.
This is relevant to regular Airpods, but not Airpod Pros which are noise-cancelling. These sort of headphones are actually safer for you hearing, as you can keep the volume lower and still hear well.
Do you have any research that talks about in-ear speakers in particular? With my very lazy Goolge search I only found articles about loud volume being bad
I do love them, but the noise cancellation does bad things to bass and for my real low end stuff, produces a rattle? I turn it off when i want it full volume
I got a pair months ago, after using gen-1 AirPods for a couple years. Soon the left AirPod Pro started rattling at certain frequencies. It got worse. I complained to Apple and they sent me a new left ‘Pod.
Soon the right one exhibited the same behavior. This time, I could hear the rattle if I tapped gently on it. Clearly something was physically loose inside it. Apple replace that one, too.
I had to argue a little, but less than with most tech support. Now I have two AirPod Pros that work perfectly.
I have heard these stories, i don’t doubt them, but maybe rattle wasn’t the right word in my case, the fact it happens only on noise cancellation makes me think it’s a software issue. It’s very few tracks, not a general issue, 99% of tracks sound great, just some tracks with real low loud bass and it triggers on the bass drum. I’m no sound engineer, but it sounded a bit like a glitch that spunds like a rattle of a speaker that can’t handle it. Maybe the bass gets boosted on noise cancellation? Like i say, turning off the cancellation stops it, and the bass come through just fine
I’ve got rattle in both in less than a year. It rattles even without any sounds, just walking around is enough to trigger it. So must be something physical.
I’m in Vietnam right now. There are no Apple Stores, but there are official authorized repair shops. Unfortunately they have to order parts from Singapore.
I’m now without the headphones for two weeks waiting for repair or replacement and I really miss them! My daily walks are just not the same without the podcasts.
I had noticeable distortion on mine. Used chat to talk to Apple tech support and they had me reset them and that made the distortion go away.
I do get a squeal when pushing them into my ear canals which is a known problem with having noise cancellation on.
I find the Airpods Pro stay in my ears much better than the Airpods. And they seem pretty water resistant - the left one survived a bath in the dog's water bowl when I was filling it.
I have the first gen samsung buds, they work great with all my devices so far and for me sit way better than airpods. But the new "bean" buds seem to have better sound and noise canceling
I got Samsung Galaxy buds when I switched from iPhone to Pixel 3a, and I can definitely recommend them. I like them much more than airpods (I had gen 1). Being able to rewind and fast forward by tapping on the buds is great.
Same, Crown Heights to Midtown. Would time my commute so I could get a seat and pull out my laptop to just code with no emails or other stuff coming in. Probably some of the most productive time. You just have to be good with heading in early and living far enough away to get on subways when they are relatively empty further out from Manhattan.
