I posted this last week, asking for #Python users to fill out a silly little survey. I got quite a few responses! I can use this! It'll be hilarious! I can still use more answers, though. I hope with a few more responses I get more obvious standouts answers. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Use #Python at all? I would like to do a silly thing, which I hope will bring amusement to others as well as me (if it works out). If you wouldn't mind, please fill out this form, and boost for reach: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Still not over how cool it is to fearlessly replay events in production. I do it all the time, and it just works.

The phrase ‘just deserts’ has only one S. It has nothing to do with desserts 🧁or deserts 🏜️. The word ‘desert’ is spelled like🏜️ and pronounced like🧁. It's related to ‘deserve’ and means “reward or punishment deserved or earned by one’s qualities or acts.”

I've been told that writing software in the 80s was horrible, with managers pushing developers to work long days and hours to meet demands. This is the space that gave birth to the agile movement. I feel like we're heading towards this again.

It seems Microsoft's Microsoft Teams has changed the UI to remove the "Teams" tab. I wonder what happened to the Microsoft "Microsoft Teams" Teams Team.

Most Python developers I've interacted with had no idea enums had abilities beyond storing static variables. I just published an article showcasing some of their superpowers. everydaysuperpowers.dev/articles/sup... #Python

One thing's sure: I've gotten much better at spelling "asynchronous" over the last couple of years.

Are you going to #PyConUS next month? If so, @trey.io has a starter pack for you, with lots of others who will be there. (And if you're on the fence about attending, you should go! It's oodles of fun, and you're learn a lot, besides.)

I just published the third of a planned five-piece series on my enjoyment of #eventSourcing in #Python. This one digs into the software industry's problem with coupling and how my switch helps relieve unwanted coupling. everydaysuperpowers.dev/articles/pre...

After 20 years of programming like those around me, how I write software has drastically changed in the last 12 months. With the change, I wanted things to settle before sharing. So: I have embraced #eventSourcing, and I want to show you why. everydaysuperpowers.dev/articles/why... #Python

I need everyone to know that you don't actually need a special EV charger to own an EV. I still haven't installed one since buying my EV in September. I plug it into the wall and move on. No problems at all.
