Well I guess I can mow the lawn this weekend

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Last week I published a security advisory for Starlette, and the project got hit with a wave of negative press. So I wrote down my perspective as the maintainer.

“Never write your own X library”
This is such conventional wisdom. But somebody wrote their own. That’s why we have the choice not to write something.
Following conventional wisdom you will never make an impact with your work. 🤷♂️

Been switching my projects from Poetry to @astral_sh's uv and decided to make a blog post about using Trusted Publisher with uv on GitHub Actions.

A periodic reminder that microservices (or any technology for that matter) don't travel in packs attacking inocent projects.
If your application has problems then it's most likely a consequence of bad design decisions made by humans.

That's not because of microservices.
That's a consequence of bad design.
Take responsibility for how you (mis)use technology.

“Why is my code not passing this test???”
Oh, I wrote the test wrong 🤦♂️

Doing some crazy stuff with metaclasses in #Python
Made an enum where you don’t have to assign `auto()`, just put the name and the metaclass handles it for you.
```py
class Demo(Enum, metaclass=EnumMCS):
Foobar
```
Works the same as `Foobar=auto()`

Should probably go without saying this is an experiment. I’ve probably missed some edge cases and I know for a fact that this will result in some ambiguous code.

Elon Musk should just change the Twitter logo to a poop emoji at this point because it would honestly be about the same thing

Just fucking stop it. You made this happen. You did. It was not RBG's fault, it wasn't Obama's fault, it wasn't Hillary's voice or laugh, it was your fucking fault. Your asses sat home, quit whining like you didn't know this shit wasn't coming down the pike.

So many of the great software engineers I consider fantastic "software architects" share this one thing:
They build (throwaway) prototypes to prove their point / showcase their ideas. A lot!
So much easier to reason about concrete code than abstract ideas.

I created a dependency injection framework for #Python that can help you build better applications.
I just published a (rather lengthy) blog post explaining how it’s useful and how it works.

If you’d like to skip all the jibber jabber in the blog post (it is very long, so I don’t blame you), you can check out the docs and GitHub.

This is what #JavaScript is doing to kids these days. Melting their brains. They don't even know what a segfault is anymore! This is why nothing works anymore! /s
It’s so cool that we’re getting to where you don’t need to know about segfaults to know how to code! #coding

Weird nuances of the underlying systems just slow devs down and make our software more error prone.
Our programming languages and tooling should abstract away all of that stuff so we don’t have to worry about it.
We’re getting there. It’s been a long journey but it’s happening.

Today I finally published an early beta for a project I’ve been working on and playing with for almost 4 years.
Bevy is a Dependency Injection framework for Python built to help you write amazing code with less effort!

Bevy even supports typing.Annotated type hints! So it’s possible to have multiple instances of a type in the cache all accessible using their own annotations!

It is currently an early beta as it is a complete rewrite of my previous version. It passes all of the tests that I have so far & I plan to continue work on it as this is a keystone for other projects I plan to begin work on very soon!
I hope you find Bevy interesting & useful!
