Pretty good stuff, guys (a tale of two media archives)

[rclayton-neon]

I have been a Python developer for some time before AI came out, and recently had the need to rewrite a thing I've written before.

I built a patreon knockoff some time ago with Django and (Wagtail as a CMS): https://rentfreemedia.github.io/

Took me about 6 months of random free time to bang it out, a lot of that being it was my first time writing something involved with media distribution.

At my day job I recently had a need to create an internal video archive, with the idea being that we can use recordings of zoom meetings with clients who pay for support contract consulting meetings as training material for new tech support reps and sales reps (we are a CRM company, new clients get X number of meetings to spend with a support contract consultant on things like migrating data, bespoke system setup and integrations, etc).

Spec-Kit did this in ~2 days, and I didn't write any of it. It's all Django again so I know how the code works, mind you, I've read it all and couldn't find much to complain about (some nitpicky things... it makes _def utility_function(): for un-routable internal functions instead of separating them into a utils.py file, it made a middleware that is arguably not necessary but it works and one could argue it's okay that way, etc)

I know you all see a lot of bug reports and feature requests so... figured I'd just post some praise, it's pretty good stuff you have going here! At the end of the day the wages of all of our sins are time. This saves me a lot of time.
