Not lost on me that it's nonprofit tech, app.watchduty.org, showing up & actually working in the midst of the LA fires (donate to them!) Meanwhile platforms fail to surface key news, vital info is paywalled... As I've been saying, we need a new tech paradigm, yesterday!

Will this be the year that sleep levels recover enough to start doing fun tech stuff again?

Would like to start blogging a bit again after like 4 years (kids will do that), I have a few ideas but it turns out getting them down on paper is a skill that atrophies away

… did AWS rebrand SageMaker to “SageMaker AI” without making any other changes?

Really enjoying the state of Python tooling these days, with one glaring exception: static type checking still feels so janky

If you’re using uv sync to install locked dependencies in your CI, make sure to use —frozen or set UV_FROZEN. Otherwise it may update the lockfile. If you’re using dynamic versioning, this will create a dirty state and even tags will be built with dev versions. #pythonprogramming

How I use Astral’s uv to manage my local development environments: 1. Install uv through homebrew, install Python versions through uv. Upgrade uv version to get access to new Python builds, do this frequently #pythonprogramming

Threaded View is great, but my number 1 feature request for @bsky.app is to be able to collapse threads so I don’t need to scroll the whole thing before getting to the next top-level reply
