On the developing side I continue to work on Django as part of a team building a web application. Last week also included some debugging and maintenance for a previous project, it was a good reminder about how useful it is to have tests in place for the code. One can go back at it after some months, make some changes, and test that nothing gets broken in the process. Following such approach can seems slow in the beginning, and for some none developers, can seem like a waste of time, specially when having deadlines, but it the long term it saves time to have a tested code, it also helps a lot to find and track bugs. And speaking of bugs, this week while dealing with one issue, I follow a walking solution, just went out for a little bit, take some steps and fresh air, and when I came back to the desk the mistake, and solution, were obvious. Never underestimate the power of moving away from the code to clear the head.
From the cities realm, I wrote an issue for the newsletter about the 15-minutes cities movement and how software and location intelligence can play an important role to evaluate the current urban conditions of a given city, and help to find optimal solutions. If you have not read it, you can give it a read here.
Along this week I collected a list of interesting links and resources, give them a look, hope you enjoy them.
This is an automated issue to track the weekly post for luisnatera.com/blog. The issue works as a repository for the links and thoughts to be published by the end of the week.
This is a first step in automating the publication process, the second step is to retrive the comments from the issue and create, automatically, the post and publish it.
