"You are being misled about renewable energy technology." -

I answer about a dozen or so emails every week from students and early stage founders. One of the most common red flags I see are people who want to be a founder for the sake of it and are chasing ideas or guessing. It's so common I have a canned response. Here it is: (Starting

An excellent comprehensive review of the state of unicode handling in terminals in 2025. I'm happy to see Ghostty scored an overall 100/100! We work really hard on Unicode support and this report gives us a good roadmap for what we need to work on next. https://t.co/9rdyYpNAqr

Are you looking for a better Markdown or LaTeX alternative? https://t.co/FzxpbVOqlm is super impressive. It meets my needs for writing documentation. I'm also using it for CAD drawings, and looking into it as a Sphinx alternative and for rendering a blog. Incredibly fast as well!

In the Python community there are early signs on discussions on virtual threads. I have been writing about this in the past and I wanted to warm it up again in a new blog post. Maybe with free threading the time is right to kill async/await in Python :)

As far as I can tell by talking to people, those who hate OO don't actually know what OO is. The thing they hate is badly written, poorly organized, overly complex Java/C++/C# programs, not OO. Simply adding a bunch of interfaces and inheritance does not make a program

Most people are unhappy. So, I've spent 100 hours studying Naval Ravikant over 2 years . What I found? Naval's Happiness Theory:

I'm investigating the idea of having an AnyIO-based version of Hypercorn. Hypercorn is an ASGI server that supports asyncio and Trio but with a separate code base for each backend. It seems natural to let AnyIO do the job 🚀 Someone had to start Anycorn 😄 https://t.co/YTzfiVxx6b

To create an alternative App Store you have to: "Provide Apple a stand-by letter of credit from an A-rated financial Institution of €1,000,000 to establish adequate financial means in order to guarantee support for your developers and users." 🤣

I finally switched from Vim to NeoVim with LSP integration (Ruff, Jedi, typos for Python development). This really is a big deal. I'm super impressed with how easy and flawless it works.

EdgeDB is amazing! At least for new projects it will probably be my DB of choice.

"Now the real-world results of all this theory are finally in, and it's clear that in practice, microservices pose perhaps the biggest siren song for needlessly complicating your system."

I would have given a #fosdem presentation today in the Python devroom about asyncio's new features: TaskGroups and ExceptionGroups. Unfortunately I got a viral throat infection and won't be able to present. :'( Hopefully, I can present it another time. Have a good Fosdem!

In other words, I'd need a solution for this (see picture).

Would it be acceptable for prompt_toolkit to start depending on anyio or not? I don't like to introduce dependencies, but cancellation (and waiting for cancellation to complete) is a pain on Python <3.11, especially if prompt_toolkit can also be embedded in an anyio app.

First bug that I reported to MSRC :) https://t.co/qu6LoVZ2Ko

/1 How will you design the Stack Overflow website? If your answer is on-premise servers and monolith (bottom), you would likely fail the interview, but that's how it is built in reality!
