Каждый раз, когда начинаешь новый SaaS-проект на Django, первые две недели уходят на одно и то же. Сначала — кастомная модель пользователя с UUID вместо integer PK, потому что потом не переедешь. Потом JWT-аутентификация, настройка SimpleJWT, написание RegisterView, LoginView, LogoutView — всё это уже было в прошлом проекте, но лежит в другом репозитории и просто так не скопируешь. Дальше Docker Compose: сервисы web, db, redis, celery, celery-beat, flower — шесть... Read more ›

Ещё два года назад соискатель с опытом middle+ мог выбирать из десятка офферов, а компании боролись за джуниоров, готовых учиться. Сегодня ИТ-рынок России переживает фундаментальную трансформацию, которую можно описать одной фразой: «рынок кандидата» умер, наступил «рынок работодателя». По итогам 2025 года на одну ИТ-вакансию в среднем приходилось почти 13 резюме, а на некоторые позиции – и все 16. Количество самих вакансий сократилось на 20–30% по сравнению с 2024 годом.Но главное... Read more ›

На микроконтроллерах STM32 можно генерировать аппаратные PWM сигналы. Это всегда применяют для регулирования яркости свечения, управления температурой нагревателей, управления крутящим моментом на моторах.

В этом тексте я написал три способа управлять фазой PWM сигнала. Читать далее Read more ›

With a vacation comes a big choice: What game should I focus on during the trip? I thought about grinding out the harder levels of Super Meat Boy 3D, but I was looking for something more chill. I could have dabbled more with Slay the Spire II, but I already know that's a game I'll […] Read more ›

В этой подборке — несколько мини-ПК, о которых стало известно в апреле 2026 года. Формально все это один и тот же класс устройств — компактные настольные компьютеры, которые можно поставить на стол или закрепить за монитором. Но на практике разница между ними довольно большая: от совсем простых конфигураций до систем, которые уже можно рассматривать как мощную рабочую машину. Есть модели для беспроблемного апгрейда, есть — с водяным охлаждением, а есть... Read more ›
