Obsidian for markdown and support for mermaid together with a coding agent has been absolutely wonderful for creating timeplans. The agent pulling data from multiple excel files and creating a unified plan. Also having it update the mermaid Gant charts as people fire off new things in meetings

While I built multiple applications and packages at home and work, this is the first time I pushed something to pypi!🥳 It was inspired by this episode of @pythonbytes.fm: pythonbytes.fm/episodes/sho... Where Michael said someone should build a package based on a blog post covered. Well here we go!

Testionary (test-dictionary) is a tiny package that provides a dictionary subclass that allow you to track which keys has been accessed and modified. Available on pypi.org/project/test... github.com/Fronkan/test...

I think this is a really good point from @jamellebouie.net. I find outsourcing the formation of my view on a topic to an LLM a scary proposition. This is also why I'm a bit wary around coding assistants. When am I outsourcing so much of my thinking that it impacts my understanding of the problem?

Here is an image of the editor I live coded in 7 minutes using #textual with it's own source code open.

A post based on a lightning talk I had at work a while ago at this point. I live coded a text editor with syntax highlighting in 7 minutes, using Python and Textual. fronkan.hashnode.dev/writing-a-te...

Passing this note along for others. I wrote down some thoughts on how to write better workarounds through comments and tesring a couple of years ago, fronkan.hashnode.dev/tips-tricks-....

Thanks to @willmcgugan.bsky.social and the textualize team for this time. Textual seems to be a TUI library that is second to none, python or otherwise. I'm sad that the company didn't work out, but glad that you gave it a go as textual made me fall in love with the terminal applications

Well, maybe it's more the immutability 🤔

When writing elixir, it still feels strange to code without for loops

Seeing PEP-735, Dependency Groups, included in the latest version pip makes me really happy! With both uv and pip supporting them I'm pretty sure I can move away completely from requirements.txt 🥳

I would generally agree with this perspective on LLMs. To me the aggressive stance against there usefulness looks more like a counter reaction against the hype. Are they as useful as the hype-side tries to tell you, absolutely not. Are they useless, also no.

With everything going on and the virality of bad news it's easy to miss the progress happening. Like a person had a mechanical heart for 100 days as a temporary solution until getting a heart transplant. Even being discharged from hospital during that time 🤯 youtu.be/f7cuOS7nmDY?...

😂

After listening to the latest episode of Developer Voices (pod.link/developer-vo...), I installed Nixos in WSL. It looks quite interesting. Also, I love how I can run both ubuntu and Nixos in WSL at the same time.

Tried out asdf yesterday, mainly to manage erlang and elixir. Feels like it would have been nice if plugins could manage build dependencies for you. Copy-pasting the install commands from the readme obviously wasn't hard, but increased the friction slightly

Beside the changing table we have a box of baby socks. I found 3 socks, non of which where equal to the others. Looking around I found another one, which obviously didn't match the other 3. I gave up and started on a new pair, guess I will find 5 non-matching socks the next time ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I am very annoyed by LLMs highjacking the term AI

Been vim-curios for a while. Seems like #neovim with Kickstart(github.com/nvim-lua/kic...) is what I needed to get going😁

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

🐍 Calling all Python data engineers! I’m looking to chat with Python developers working in data engineering—whether you’re building pipelines, wrangling data, or just figuring things out as you go. Details 👇

Hi everyone, Just to announce that the handle bsky.app/profile/nico... is not Bruno, but an impersonator. That account has already been reported. Bruno can be reached at bsky.app/profile/soli....

This is absolutely mind-blowing! 🤯

I didn't have time to finish advent of code last year, but I have now picked it up again. Its nice to have some coding challenges to think about while on parental leave 🧑🏼‍💻

Day 1 of parental leave and things are going very well. First time having her in the stroller while shoveling snow and it went flawlessly 😄 And with a path cleared, we could take a walk with the stroller for the afternoon nap 😴

This is probably a pretty good tip for me 😅 Although I don't have nearly as much time to write nowadays, that draft folder has been growing. And published content sort of hasn't

It feels quite strange to have only two days of work, this being the last at the office, left before my 7 month parental leave. I also realised I haven't been away from work or education longer than like 2 months since I was 6 🫢

I really enjoy hacking together small automation tools for non-programers that solves some annoying problem 👨🏼‍💻

I don't know if it's by coincidence or the all-knowingness of the algorithm. But this video popped up in my feed and I really resonated with it. "Complexity homeostasis" is an interesting idea and feels like a valuable concept youtu.be/czzAVuVz7u4?...

Legitimate supply-chain attack affecting Python package "Ultralytics" abused multiple levels of GitHub Actions shell injection vulnerabilities in workflows to publish malware to PyPI.

I felt like I was guided through todays #adventofcode. From the start I knew what bart 2 would be, but the problem felt difficult. So I focused on doing that part and when I came to the second part I could see the solution very clearly. Just build out from the checking code and problem solved 😊

Here we go! #adventofcode

Me in the middle of solving #adventofcode: "I will just copy-paste and change this code, that will be much quicker" Me when debugging my solution: "Damn it, I missed to fix this in both places"

Accidentally woke up early today, so 2/2 days on #adventofcode. This is going way better than expected 😁

My advent of code set up feels even better this year. uv is pretty great for managing python environments

I will see how many days I will get through this year, I don't imagine it will be that many. But, I did the first day of Advent of code at least 😊

@podsnack.se has now allowed @lawik.bsky.social to BEAM 🤭 elixir into my ears so many times that I can't resist the temptation. Don't tell Python 🤫

The amount of bad advice on how to write #Python code, written in actual Python groups on LinkedIn is astonishing 😤
