@adamchainz@fosstodon.org so many! From just this morning: https://github.com/django/django/pull/20543#discussion_r2697815979 First time I've written a chained exception here: https://github.com/django/django/pull/20516#discussion_r2675882642 I particularly enjoyed the suggestions on template partials: https://github.com/django/django/pull/19643#pullrequestreview-3076590594 All of the comments on the switch to the template based form renderer, but in particular the API design here: https://github.com/django/django/pull/14819#pullrequestreview-744111115

Thanks

A spreadsheet user.

Oh my goodness.

This goes on for ~3.5 pages.

I find myself these days commenting on PRs as if I'm talking to Claude (AI) rather than a person.

Maybe it's because the PRs have a strong AI feeling to them. 🤔

Need to be conscious not to loose compasion, warmth and community vibes.

Django urlpatterns. Do you use?

#django

I look around and see my half completed projects in every direction. Must get better at finishing some things!

@carlton @felixxm @sarahboyce @adamchainz don't give him any encouragement to retire! 💚
