When building AI agents, people tend to run into the same issues: 🫠 It kind of works, but I don’t know why. 🫠 The agent is hard to extend. 🫠 It’s hard to debug. If you’re just starting or feel stuck, check this free course by @t-redactyl.bsky.social 👉 bit.ly/415JPGd

Python has a flexible mechanism built into `pathlib` to look for files with filenames that follow a given pattern. You can use `[...-...]` to represent character ranges and `*` to match arbitrary text. But note that `glob` does NOT support regex syntax! This is just similar.
Diagram showing how character ranges and the asterisk can be used in `pathlib.Path.glob` to match multiple filenames that follow the same pattern.

Eine Programmier- oder Menschensprache ohne Ziel zu lernen, ist problematisch, weil die Motivation zum Spracherwerb nicht endlos ist. Python selbst bringt neben den schon genannten Vorteilen eine sehr hilfsbereite Community mit, die auf Diversity achtet. Ist vielleicht auch ein Argument dafür.

Have you tried ffmpeg? It can screen record into segments or the more crash friendly mkv or TS format. There’s a format to allow playback while recording (HLS, a live streaming format, I can try to look up the exact command if needed). A file saved this way while crashing plays up to the crash.
