@willmcgugan.bsky.social's dinkus is fantastic for writing markdown on the Mac. Good enough that I'm going to figure out how to do reviews in the Apple App Store. apps.apple.com/us/app/dinku...

See unix.foo/posts/nobody..., which mirrors my thoughts. For reference, we know LLM vendors illegally slurped up millions of tech books because they paid us authors settlements for doing so. With that in mind, if we update Two Scoops of Django, will enough people actually buy it?

It's not a Two Scoops of Django launch, which always hits #1 in categories, but for my fiction this is good numbers. Hopefully, as reviews appear the numbers improve. www.amazon.com/dp/B0GTRGFNB...

These days, and for the past few years, Google doc's spell and grammar checks are really bad. I'm forced to use other tools. It really reinforces my belief that Google's ensh*******tion of core products (search, docs, etc) was a huge driver in the rapid rise of AI.

I spent about 75% of my life in NJ and MD, which is in the middle of a blizzard. I love snowfall, admiring the blanket of white, walking in fresh or old snow, shovelling it around, and the inevitable melt. Sometimes you don't know what treasures you have until they are gone.

I remember several years of absolute glory for Heroku. For years the tech, UI, documentation and customer support were second to none. During that golden period a lot of money was spent on that platform because it was worth it. RIP Heroku: www.heroku.com/blog/an-upda...

Addressing 173 tickets worth of feedback from @adamj.eu. The unbelievable amount of focus on his part is astounding. He's amazing! Been working to knock out tickets daily. The more I work these tickets the more my imposter syndrome is triggered. Doing my best to turn that feeling into inspiration.

Every time I walk down Ayala Avenue in Makati this is what I see in my head. I think of all the traffic driving right past dying retail replaced with booming restaurants and businesses. Imagine the surge in collectable retail taxes for the city.

The differences between US and British English can be charming. In the US we commonly write: "Be familiar with X" In the UK they commonly write: "Familiarize yourself with X" Both are correct English but in only England there is a strong difference in tone. Ping fellow author @adamj.eu 😅

Confession time: I used to be addicted to pop-tarts. I had to fight the urge to buy a box or pack whenever I saw them. Then I would binge eat them until I got sick. I'm proud to say that in 2025 I was pop-tart free. Here's to staying clean for another year.

Air 0.43 has dropped, which uses FastAPI 0.125.0 or higher. FastAPI is finally off supporting Python 3.8 and Pydantic v1! In theory this shouldn't affect anything, but edge cases may appear. If something breaks, we'll make fixing bugs caused by this update our priority. ☁️
