I'm a developer at Infoxchange, and we're actually looking for a senior dev to join our Melbourne team. Development of the Ask Izzy app was a collaboration between our team here and REA group, which goes to show the kind of thing you get to be a part of at Infoxchange.
In Melbourne, we have a small team working on a number of projects with Python, Django, Docker, Elasticsearch and React.js. We run some very modern tech, and we work really closely with our amazing ops team and testers.
Thanks for the feedback, definitely not intentional :)
A lot of effort and consultation with a number of groups (including end users) went into choosing the name. Turns out, naming things is surprisingly hard!
You're right about the data quality, it's a huge job and we have a fantastic team of people who work to keep the data up to date.
Another big challenge is trying to provide useful results in areas (especially remote areas) where we're either missing good data, or where there simply aren't any nearby services. Australia is a huge country and population density tends to be concentrated in a few places, but with a lot of smaller towns and cities scattered about, which can make finding geographically relevant results really difficult.
Just to expand on that a bit, the data is currently limited to our in-house database of services in Australia.
We are looking into including additional (Australian) data sources in the future (for instance, there are some open data sets which various government agencies make available that we'd like to include).
Hey jacalata, thanks for pointing this out. I've reproduced the issue as best I can, and AFAICT you should see a link on that page which says "Change you answers".
Clicking it should display a list of the answers you've chosen, and the top one should be your location. Clicking that should let you change your location.
If that doesn't work, drop me a line at [email protected] -- I'd love to get enough info from you to properly reproduce the bug so we can fix it.
It's worth noting that much of what Irvine lays out in this book is closer to Epicureanism than Stoicism, per say. For a better treatment of Stoicism, I'd recommend The Inner Citadel by Pierre Hadot.
If you want to understand Meditations and Marcus Aurelius, you should read The Inner Citadel by Pierre Hadot. For instance, there are good reasons for his writing in Greek, for the format of the book, for the repetitiveness, etc.
Tests generated by GUI systems are extremely fragile and you wouldn't them hanging around your codebase.
OTOH, often a video recording is a great way to demonstrate a bug without having to (be able to) write an automated test, and pretty easy for even a non-technical user to produce.
FYI: I got a 403 error when I tried to sign up (CSRF verification failed). You should probably override the default template for that error page, too. Nice to see you're using Django, though!
In my experience, fat models are the most common approach to organising code in Django projects. As another comment stated, it's better than having fat views, but it's not ideal.
