Weeknotes

Weeknotes for the week finishing Friday, 20th September 2024.

This was my second full week as Katie’s buddy. We covered:

  • the Django shell (manage.py shell)
  • the database shell (manage.py dbshell)
  • displaying two shells in one window with Terminator
  • creating and saving models with managers and instances
  • environment variables and their use in the twelve-factor app methodology
  • file permissions

I gave an hour-long talk on “Writing and running study code”, a 10 minute talk on job-server, and another 10 minute talk on the OpenSAFELY command-line interface.

I revisited how the OpenSAFELY platform restricts datasets, tracing a line from the OpenSAFELY command-line interface to GitHub issues, via research-template and research-action. I’m hoping to discuss how the OpenSAFELY platform restricts datasets in next week’s “Cabinet of Curiosities”.
