We don't care about click counts. We just want people to see art.

This is it precisely. AI bots ruined it for everyone.

We're having ongoing issues with bot traffic, so we're constantly tweaking our Cloudflare settings.

We're not worried about ruining this metric. We want people to see art.

I must be really out of touch, because I cannot imagine how this is a billion dollar business.

The bastards finally did it. They rewrote Rust in Rust.

I think maybe you're overextrapolating here. Classes are meant to hold state. If you have a bunch of related state, wrapping it up in a class has been a common use of classes even before `dataclass` existed.

What the talk is discussing is the creation of classes for wrapping related _functionality_, sans state. The class isn't really necessary at that point, so you should just create a module with functions instead of a class.

Even if you do need your related functionality to reference some common state, you still might not need a class, because modules themselves are objects and can hold state.

The point of the talk is not to dissuade you from _ever_ using classes, it's to make you think more judiciouly about adding new classes you probably don't need. Python isn't Java, and you dont need everything to be a class.

Honestly, I think the generic and model views are way more impressive than the ORM or the admin. They take away all of the boilerplate usually associated with CRUD apps.

I remember encountering number 4 in the wild, so I think it deserves to be a genuine "wat". That said, I'm not sure why I (or anyone else) thought I would need to use the identity operator on numbers, but it's certainly a head-scratcher until you dig into the underlying reason.

The letter quite clearly asks for six months.

I have been really impressed with PopOS so far.

You should lead by example.

Fan fiction is getting weird.
