Recurse Center Day 16: Open Source

23 Nov 2021

Open Source

One of the good things about participating at RC is that you can work on anything you want. Yesterday I spent some time on the open PRs I had gotten on my side projects.

A PR on my fast sqlite inserts project improved the performance by ~22%, bringing down the insertion time to 23s!
A PR on grpc-errors repo fixed the Go examples to make it work with newer versions of golang, go mod, and gRPC

Upgrading Django version (v1 to v4)

I have an open source project that uses an outdated version of Django. I looked into updating to the latest version. I believe this task would be pretty easy as I don’t need to support backward compatibility.

(I will add more notes here on the process)
