I read the whole 35k word Claude constitution last night during my long biphasic sleep break last night. Love that Anthropic made it CC0. I'm eager to experiment with revising it It was fascinating. I do wish it gave the models knowledge of their own flaws, e.g. unintentional bias, content theft

Then comes the fun. I'm overflowing with ideas for creative new features after the break to contemplate all of this You have no idea what a treat you're in for if you're a Cookiecutter user :D

Revisited the Cookiecutter modernization effort that @daniel.feldroy.com and I had started this summer. Yeah! We still want to do it! First comes getting it into good shape. Baby steps, we just dropped Python 3.9 since it reached EOL at the end of October

The surreal moth on www.python-httpx.org that was so beautifully photographed by @lovelydinosaur.bsky.social is something that has brought me joy every time I've gone to the httpx docs It's long been fluttering around in my subconscious, even accidentally inspired art that I'm shy to post publicly

The old me would have said, "Okay, I'm done, I can't do this anymore" The new courageous me first took a long nap today, because she was exhausted Refreshed, she is now setting up a mail server, and feeling excited and a bit crazy to roll her own custom email newsletter software

The new tool kept sending emails out even though we discovered it after only the first 100 went out We had no way to stop the bulk email send through the tool's UI or API. It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion

I'll share yesterday's horrifying backstory Over the past 2 weeks we migrated off of Intuit MailChimp and SendOwl to a new "email for developers" tool that we expected to add Unsubscribe links Guess what, we didn't do it right. No unsubscribe links at all in the sent emails. To 10k subscribers 😭

Sending out email newsletters is something I've absolutely feared for years Yesterday @daniel.feldroy.com and I finally rebooted ours, sending out an update for the first time in 5 years We got a few more requests to join after we sent that out. We'll send it to the ~10 of you hopefully by tonight

Getting ready to send out the first newsletter from me and @daniel.feldroy.com in years. Sharing our updates + dev advice/opinions that we don't share publicly If you want in for free, DM me your email address - all welcome! It'll be a paid newsletter soon but you can get grandfathered in free now

Hi, this is Air, the new web framework that breathes fresh air into Python web development

My use case was that I was working on an AIR app that needed to be able to display arbitrary single-file React apps Though not just any apps, but trusted ones made by my 6-year-old who's partial to vibe-coding with Claude Sonnet 4 at the moment

Audrey M. Roy Greenfeld @audrey.feldroy.com · 10/08/2025
I've figured that @airwebframework.bsky.social works with React in production, for anyone needing to use it that way 🚀 In my AIR app, I created a Jinja template that works with any arbitrary 1-file React app
How I load a Jinja template that serves as a shell for any dynamic single-file React app: I check if the app needs React, then return a rendered Jinja template containing what the app needs

A web framework or other tool is only as good as its ecosystem. Nurturing its third-party package ecosystem leads to its growth and longevity.

I think one of the keys to happiness is surrounding yourself with positive, encouraging, open-minded people. People who uplift you when you try new things, and who give you the courage to keep trying more.

Playing with Marimo notebooks, a reinvention of Jupyter notebooks to be reactive like Observable notebooks. After getting past the rough learning curve, I'm starting to see how fun they are. And a Vega-Altair heatmap of x^2 + y^2, to make the screenshot pretty.
