Great update, including new tools at the end.

I've always wanted to build things with D3, but the learning curve was too high. At least for the bespoke stuff I wanted to make (not just simple bar charts). I can finally make things like this thanks to Cursor! I just art directed this, and it made everything work beautifully. Even on mobile 🎉

I look forward to this annual collection of Top Python libraries every year. This year, the list is divided into two categories: General Use and AI/ML/Data. uv is the star but there's a LOT here! ⚡ tryolabs.com/blog/top-pyt... #python

Being able to write an HTTP server in Python opens up a whole world of possibilities for sharing your clever code and posts with the world, through an API or through the browser. I wanted to figure out how to do it, and here are my notes. www.brandonrohrer.com/http_server 1/

Great post on building large technical projects by Mitchell Hashimoto! Break tasks into manageable chunks and focus on getting to demos. That's the key! mitchellh.com/writing/buil...

I figured out a prompting pattern for getting Claude to produce fully self-contained Python scripts that execute with "uv run" using PEP 723 inline script dependencies - and now I can one-shot useful Python utilities with it simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/19/...
