If you're getting an authentication error when trying to make a submission using the HMRC Basic PAYE Tools then check your password length. A password of more than 12 characters will not work.

The website lets you set up a longer password and use it to log in but it will not work for the Basic PAYE Tools.

Change your password on the website to 12 characters or less and you should be able to make your submission. Note that on the password change page it does tell you it should be 12 characters or less.

Where people struggle learning Django

Over the last 3 years or so I've helped a bunch of companies, small and large, switch to Django. As part of that, I've done a lot of teaching Django (and Python) to people new to the platform (and language). I'd estimate I've trained something around 200-250 people so far. These aren't people new to programming — indeed, almost all of them are were currently employed as software developers — but they were new to Python, or to Django, or to web development, or all three.

In doing so, I've observed some patterns about what works and what doesn't. Many (most) of the failings have been my own pedagogical failings, but as I've honed my coursework and my skill I'm seeing, time and again, certain ways that Django makes itself difficult to certain groups of users.

This document is my attempt at organizing some notes around what ways different groups struggle. It's not particularly actionable — I'm not making any arguments about what Django should or shouldn't do (at least

All of the categories!

I wrote a really simple JavaScript script that uses jQuery to extract all the categories from Facebook's "Create a page" page.

Instructions

1. Navigate to the Create a page page.
2. jQuerify the page.
3. Open up your JavaScript console of choice and run the following script:

<h1>{{ page.title }}</h1>
<div class="archives">
{% for month in page.months %}
<h2>{{ month | date:"%B" }} <small>{{ month | date:"%Y" }}</small></h2>
  <ul>
  {% for post in page.posts_by_month[month] %}
