Good one, thanks!

I would recommend automating these kind of tests using a test framework. If you do it right, the scripted tests will also serve as a documentation. Look into tools like Robot Framework, Cucumber etc.

Ah thanks. Cucumber is quite close to what I had in mind.

I'm currently looking into how JJB could be used for simple scheduled jobs. But isn't the setup described in the article basically the same what you can do with Jenkinsfile?

Regarding private git repo, have you looked into Bitbucket? They offer unlimited free private repos. I've been using them for about half a year, very happy so far.

Haha... research right?

That's funny. I'm curious what's the catch besides someone else hosting your data of course that's ridiculous/how do you explain using everything else...

Good point and thanks. Would trust their setup more than mine, speed up the learning process too but it wasn't bad setting it up.

I've been using Bitbucket's free private repositories for several years and it works great for me. I think the catch is just that you can only have five users on a team, so you need to convert to a paid account if you bring in more people. If it's just your own stuff, then obviously that's not a concern. I think it's just a loss leader to bring people in and try to convert some of them to a paid offering at some point.

Yeah at this time I'm the only developer for where I'd like to apply git to.

Thanks a lot, would speed up the process not worrying about the permissions/setting it up. Still have to read some guides on Git but yeah I appreciate the tip.

I also like that it's not on the same server as the production server just because that one has limited resources at this time. Granted again it's just me.

...or gitlab, very nice (and free) repo hosting, in-house or online.

+1 for Bitbucket

Thanks for the feedback and the screenshot! Yes, there are only a few icons on the site currently, I just wanted to show the concept and get feedback before I put more effort into that.

I haven't even heard of the term menulet, will look into this.

Author here. When I'm at a meeting and a colleague of mine is presenting something I often wonder what's that app they have in their menu bar. But I rarely ask because I don't want to interrupt the presentation and by the end of it I usually forget.

So I put together this simple page listing a few apps. For now it's macOS only and only has a few icons. Any comments?

Congratulations! How did you promote the books? What would you say was your most effective promotion channel?

Through the Django and Python community, primarily -- they've been super supportive. The second book was aimed at folks who've completed the DjangoGirl's tutorial.

Here's a story by one of the founders on how Stripe came up with the name https://www.quora.com/How-did-Stripe-come-up-with-its-name

Wow, you can write a whole book on the topic! Lots of good info in there, thanks for sharing.

Yes, that's what I've been thinking too. The only thing that holds me back is that I'm going to put a lot of effort into promoting the product launch and generate traffic to my domain. If I switch the product name (domain) later on, all the effort might be wasted. I know I can redirect the old domain to a new one but still, backlinks might lose some weight.
