Turns out one of my favorite websites, http://tay.today/ has been suspended by the hoster, probably because the bill hasn't been paid...
I've managed to recover all of the data thanks to archive.org <3 but now I need to find a cool domain name to host it on :/

Delicate's video is hilarious. Taylor is going to be gif'd more than Emma Stone.

I've recently been using SQLAlchemy's ORM for a Python web app I'm developing. I really like the idea of declaring tables using a class, which provides you with an object class too.
For querying, I'm still a bit undecided. I like .filter_by(), .first(), and .all(), but I'm worried that losing visibility into the direct SQL queries being used makes it easier to forget about indexes. Then again, this project is small enough that I expect to not even need indexes.

New dashboard shows the last jenkins run for a MediaWiki extension/skin: https://tools.wmflabs.org/ci/last_run.html
I mostly made this to be able to find extensions that fail PHP 7.0 tests while it's still non-voting, and to find gaps in coverage (there's one Wikimedia-deployed extension with no voting tests :().
One day I need to unify all my CI/extension related dashboards so I'm not constantly copying code from one to another.

My proudest work this week is removing nearly 4,000 lines of code that had been copied around to different MediaWiki extension repositories. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/topic:mediawiki-phan-config
