I Replaced Kafka, Redis, and RabbitMQ With One Tool. Here’s What I Learned.

The post’s core idea is that NATS JetStream can replace separate Kafka, Redis, and RabbitMQ setups by covering streaming, queueing, and pub/sub in one system. It argues this can simplify architecture and reduce the operational overhead of running multiple messaging tools for different workloads.

Django Table, Filter and Export With Htmx

The article shows how to combine HTMX, django-tables2, and django-filter to build a reusable “universal table” that supports filtering and exporting in a single view without custom JavaScript. The key idea is consolidating table, filter, and export logic into one composable backend pattern, enabling cleaner views and dynamic UI updates via partial page reloads.

Gradient Boosting Parameters

This post will walk through how you can use the same principles behind Gradient Boosting Machines (GBM) to predict parameters of models in the same way traditional GBMs predict 1-dimensional targets. This allows us to get the benefits of Gradient Boosting (large feature sets, high dimensional interactions, modeling at scale) to fit things like smoothing splines, survival analysis, and pr...

Why Aren’t We uv Yet?

The post analyzes uv adoption stats across GitHub repos, finding it in ~30-44% of new 2026 Python projects vs. requirements.txt despite high admiration (74% in Stack Overflow survey). It pins the gap on AI coding agents still defaulting to pip + requirements.txt, and recommends forcing uv in CI, documenting it, and prompting agents explicitly.
