Designing Engineering Organizations - Jacob Kaplan-Moss
I have often read about Conway's Law. But never really understood it at practical level. This post by Jacob explains it well. It also provides a good framework on how to structure teams.
The guiding principle here is that Conway’s Law is inescapable – you ship your org chart. And, wherever possible, you should optimize for delivery. In other words: design your organization to match what you want to ship.

Generally, product-aligned teams deliver better products more rapidly. Again, Conway’s Law is inescapable; if delivering a new feature requires several teams to coordinate, you’ll struggle compared …
Snapshot testing in Django

Content editable remove unnecessary tags with content and all html tags on paste
Good snippet to control what formatting is retained in a rich text editor on pasting data.
We have been wanting to create a rich-text editor where we can control the tags and attributes that are permitted.
Tags added in a rich text editor (through contenteditable) in multiple ways:

- Our own commands executed through document.execCommand
We can use a similar technique of tag replacement by tying the clean-up to oninput event.
