I don't know how it works with my team but almost always I'm the one who is at the frontier when there is a need to migrate to new technology or to do something that nobody in my team knows how to do including me.

Just discovered wonderful python library called tabulate. No longer I have to create complex tables with HTML tags. I just generate tabulated data and put it inside <pre> tags.

For fuck, fucking sake I literally spent 10 hours trying to setup Celery logging with Django but no, ohhh no Celery has some ninja handlers that don't even show up in logging_tree. If I try to change date format for Celery then I get big "fuck off" in my face. One more hour and I will explode.

When I was starting with Python at work I was very confused about identifying what is function, class, module, object instance, etc. just by name so I asked my colleague with PHP background to follow PEP8 and use meaningful names for objects. He's like okay and the next day I find this:
