Try to work at a place that has a union and decide to not be part of it... then you can see the true face of injustice. Don't want to be extorted out of union fees? Good luck, you are better off working somewhere else.
This is not representative of all unions, and the union fees are generally small compared to the higher wages that wouldn’t exist were there not a union in place. Mathematically you give a little to get a lot.
I have been wanting to look into tiling managers, but I was always putting it off because of tasks I had to do. I read this post, and it made me look into how to use the default tiling manager of my current distro (Using Kubuntu and Plasma). It literally is Cmd-T, pick a default layout (the upper right area has some default ones, too), and then whenever you want to tile, just shift drag the window and it will snap. Been using it all day and I love it. The article does not talk about this one, but man, glad it made me wonder about it.
Sidenote: I find it funny that somebody that is trying to create a product that competes with Apple and Google ends up showing both of their logos in many places of their most important marketing video.
The cool thing about django admin is how easy it is to customize within the bounds that it was designed for. You have one liners to add calculated values, complex filters, inline records from related tables, a permission model to limit operations and/or access to certain objects (or records), custom actions on a set or subset of items, import/export, etc etc. 99% of it without touching HTML or CSS. If you need something more complex, you just build it, but right out of the box it provides a lot of options for the content managers. If you stay within the bounds of how it was designed, the extensibility model is solid.
It is not just a UI just for CRUD. You can easily add custom actions (calls to web services, export/imports, heavy background tasks that operate on a row or collections of rows), filters, related tables with custom behavior, display custom derived/calculated values, etc. Additionally, you can skin it easily - and in some cases, even create dashboards in a very simple manner. Check out out Django Unfold for an example https://github.com/unfoldadmin/django-unfold
Of course it’s possible to customize and extend, just as with other frameworks it is possible. We aren’t talking about closed systems here.
Even writing a fully custom “admin” interface for one part of a business process isn’t usually much work if the system itself (which Django would also depend on) is reasonably designed.
Writing something from scratch isn’t that difficult, and you get exactly what you need without fighting against the framework.
