D Why Is Data Processing, Especially Labeling, So Expensive? So Many Contractors Seem Like Scammers

Honestly, the prices I have seen from data labeling vendors are just insane. The delivery timelines are way too long as well. We had a recent project with some medical data that needed pre-sales labeling. The vendor wanted us to pay them every week, but every delivery was a mess and needed countless rounds of revisions.

Later we found out the labeling company had outsourced the whole task to a group of people who clearly had no idea what they were doing. If your project is small, niche, or long-tail, the bigger vendors do not even want to take it. The smaller teams? I just cannot trust their quality.

Besides being crazy expensive, the labeling is always super subjective, especially for big, complex, or domain-specific datasets. Consistency is basically nonexistent. The turnover at these labeling companies is wild too. It feels like half their team just gets a crash course and then is thrown onto your project. I really cannot convince myself they are going to deliver anything good.

Now I am getting emails from companies claiming their "automated labeling" is faster and better than anything humans can do. I honestly have no clue if that is for real since I have never

Class variable for multiple language support

Is it good idea to use class variable to store all UI text and their translation.

class Text():
    data={
        'login':{
            'en':'login',
            'bn':'লগইন'
        }#many more
    }
    @staticmethod
    def get(key):
        return Text.data[key][lang_from_session()]

    @app.context_processor
    @staticmethod
    def get_jinja():
        return dict(Text=Text.get)



#in template
<a href='/login'>{{Text('login')}}</a>

See the example above. I can import Text and use it for translation. Thanks in advance.

Flutter or React Native for Mobile App with Django REST Backend?

Hi all,

We’re developing a warehouse management system with both web and mobile components. The web app is almost done, built using Vue.js for the frontend and Django REST Framework (DRF) for the backend.

Now we're moving to the mobile app, which will have a few core features:

QR code scanning, OTP verification, User login, Delivery status updates, Image uploads (e.g., proof of delivery)

We’re new to mobile development and working with a tight deadline, so our plan is to learn the basics quickly and then vibe code the rest as we build.

We’re trying to decide between Flutter and React Native, and our priorities are:

Easy integration with our existing DRF backend

Quick to learn and develop with

Good support for camera/QR/image features


From your experience, which framework would help us move faster and be more suitable for a small team coming from a web development background?
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated — thanks!

What front end frameworks should you learn as a Full Stack Developer?

Do Django full stack developers need to pick a specific front-end framework to stay competitive in the job market?


https://youtu.be/LKhR9KS8eVQ

In this short clip, taken from my recent LinkedIn Live session I answered a common question from developers: “Will choosing one front-end framework give me an edge when job hunting?”

🔍 I talked about what hiring trends are actually showing — While there’s no single “must-know” tool, some front-end technologies are clearly leading the pack.

💡 Based on what I’ve seen in job specs and industry chatter, here are the frameworks worth paying attention to right now:

TypeScript – showing up most frequently in job ads

React – still a dominant choice across the board

Vue.js – strong third place, especially in smaller teams

HTMX – a rising star, particularly popular in the Django world

I also share insights from DjangoCon US, where HTMX generated a lot of buzz, both on stage and in hallway conversations.What Front End frameworks should you learn as a Full Stack Developer

Need help with Django Authentication and User Modules

Hi everyone,

Found this sub and figured it's worth a shot. Is anyone willing to spare an hour or two of their time and help me properly set up the authentication and user profiles for a project I'm working on?
I've done some work on it, but the tokens don't seem to be working correctly, and it would be amazing if someone who knows and has worked with both could have a look and walk me through it.
Any input would be so so so appreciated!

Best way to minify HTML/CSS/JS in a Django + Tailwind project?

I'm working on a Django project with TailwindCSS (using django-tailwind) and looking for the best way to minify my static files (HTML, CSS, and JS) for production.


I initially tried writing a middleware that uses regular expressions to minify HTML responses (removing whitespace/comments), but then realized this might actually slow down the site instead of improving performance, especially under high traffic.



I also looked into some libraries like django-minify-html, but they also rely on middleware, so I’m concerned about runtime overhead.



Then I thought — maybe I could hook into the build process. Like, when I run:

\- python manage.py tailwind build

\- python manage.py collectstatic



…maybe there’s a way to minify things at that point. But I'm not sure how to do that or what the right approach is.



What's the recommended way to minify static files in a Django + Tailwind project?

Django Channels

Hi so i need to implement notifications in my application and I have a few questions about Django channel layer(COuld really use some help here):



1. Does every consumer instance get its own channel layer name ? ( lets say i have 2 websocket URLs mapped to 2 consumers , and every client establishes a connection to both these consumers via the url router )



2. Is the channel layer name uniquely generated only for that specific connection ? and therefore might be different if the same consumer spins up another instance of itself for a connection ?



3. How do i store and access these channel layer names for each user when i need to add them to a group or something . Do i just store them in a database for the duration of the connection and get rid of them after ?

I wish all vibe coders used Django...

Batteries included frameworks like Django are massively underrated for indie founders with limited coding knowledge because ... SOMEONE ELSE already solved their security, auth, design patterns etc for them.

I've found it so easy to spin up a new Django project with Cursor, and just get all the basic stuff done before I get to work.

Whereas I've just taken over a 'vibe coded' next.js application from another agency that has no security at all anywhere and I was able to just curl the api endpoints and extract everything.

Not even one of those 'API key in public' situations... just no auth at all...

We need to be louder as a community about the wonderful benefits of starting a project in Django. When I was new to web coding Django saved me as a n00b dev all those years ago by handling that stuff and having easy ways to do it.

It seems that it can also save the AI...

My open source project gets 1100+ monthly downloads

https://github.com/ivanrj7j/Font

This is a project that i did because of my frustrations with opencv


opencv does not provide you a solution for rendering custom fonts in their image, and i was kind of pissed and looked for libraries online and found one, but that library had some issues, so i created my own.

about the library:

The Font library is designed to solve the problem of rendering text with custom TrueType fonts in OpenCV applications. OpenCV, a popular computer vision library, does not natively support the use of TrueType fonts, which can be a limitation for many projects that require advanced text rendering capabilities.

This library provides a simple and efficient solution to this problem by allowing developers to use custom fonts in their OpenCV projects. It abstracts away the low-level details of font rendering, providing a clean and intuitive API for text rendering.

now when i look into stats, i am seeing almost 1100+ downloads which made me very proud


thats all rant over

opentemplate - FOSS Python template focused on developer experience, security and SOTA tooling

## What the project does?

opentemplate (https://github.com/open-nudge/opentemplate) is an easy to use, yet comprehensive Python template (single click and single command is more or less all that is needed, use as a GitHub template).

Some features (see the repo for more):

- Truly open source: no tokens, no fees, no premium plans
- Easy: clone templated repo, run pdm setup
- SOTA: best checkers for Python, YAML, Markdown, prose and more
- Secure: SLSA Level 3, SBOMs, attestations and more
- Consistent: all pipelines defined by pyproject.toml

## Target audience

Anyone creating Python projects, tested intensively (including pipelines), especially for a template repository, initial release, but likely mature enough for production

## Comparison

Detailed section provided in the docs (here: https://open-nudge.github.io/opentemplate/latest/template/about/comparison/), but briefly:

- Python-first
- Focused mainly on developer experience
- GitHub only (no external platforms necessary)
- No paid tiers, fully free (some security features are blocked for private repositories, but that is on the GitHub's side and probably for a longer post)

## Final thoughts

Happy to hear feedback and if you find it useful/interesting feel free to share/star, thank you in advance.

PS. Might be slow to respond due to poor internet connection today :(
