I'm going to pause posting on X/Twitter for the time being. Don't know when/if I'll be back, but not deleting the account. Mean while, I'm on masto, bsky, sub stack notes and LinkedIn for all the microblogging. (links in second tweet)

Good designers can do more than UI. Then can make the doc beautiful, the website nice, and even assist the marketing team. Don't make them redo the UI 10 times, it's terrible for the user. I have when Ubuntu is changing UI stuff once again, but sleep is still unsolved.
Replying to @levelsio
The curse of having full time UI designers on the payroll.

Started to write the article on "One year with uv" tonight. It was getting a bit long, so I searched "Is 4000 words a lot" and found a /r/writing post asking if 4000 words is a reasonable goal... for a week. Woops.

Mystic Quest will never be as good as Silicon Valley, but it's a decent methadone for my empty soul. It has fun characters, situations I've seen play out for real, and everyone gets to be at the bottom of the joke, not just one tribe.

People are figuring out that they have been behaving with LLM like customers have been behaving with them all along and that they have to spend time explaining things correctly. How the tables have turned.
Looking for better ways to code with Cursor and came across this banger. Anyone else have workflows that work for them?

I don’t know if life finds a way, but today we are going to find a way to compile the first stable version of Python released 31 years ago and play with it. Will it be productive? No. But will it be useful? Also no. Link in the next tweet bellow.

I thought type checking would be added to ruff because it's developed in the ruff repo, but I just compiled it this morning (2 minutes on my machine), and for now, they have a separate red-knot executable. This is confirmed by Waygood: bsky.app/profile/alexwaygood…

Interesting concept. I just met it randomly and though it was a standard internet troll, and had to read the name to realize it was an AI. But most people in the thread didn't, which means it's not harmless, unfortunately, especially given its take.

Just migrated a project from hatch to uv. Took a few minutes. In two weeks, I'll write something like "One year of uv: should you use it?" listing all the good and bad things about it in the various tests I made with my clients over the years.

uv just added "uvx [-p x.y] python", which means I can get rid of my clunky: py() { if [ -n "${VIRTUAL_ENV:-}" ]; then python "$@" else "$(preferred_python_version)" "$@" fi } And replace it with just "alias py=uvx python"

You know the drill, it's time for the monthly Python wrap up! - PEP 773, a proposal for a new Python installation experience - Astral officially announces that ruff will get type-checking features - Pypi adds the ability to quarantine projects to help fight malware Link next
