Uma trained Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Then we took her to the library where she read a girl's chapter book in 20 minutes. I ❤️ this kid.

Wahoo! Good news!
After a 6 year hiatus from posting any blog updates, I'm back. If you followed me via the Planet Python RSS feed, if I did everything right you should see posts pop up there. https://t.co/33Ybx6stc0

Attribution matters. I am a zealot about adding people as co-authors to my git commits when we pair. And if I need to merge two projects together ever again, going forward this is how I'm doing it. https://t.co/OqJepIBdWB

Attribution matters to me, I want contributors to always get full credit for their effort. This is how you preserve the git history of a project you are bringing into another project.

I really enjoy using @marimo_io as a notebook tool. The reactive cells means I don't have weird surprises showing up at the worst possible time.

I know GitHub stars arguably don't mean anything, but this is nevertheless still exciting.
Yesterday we jumped from 150 GitHub stars to over 200! https://t.co/VOXESZLyqs

Our six-year-old daughter Uma absolutely understands what reverse psychology is, considers it a fun game. Sometimes when she wants to eat all her meal or go to bed she asks quietly for us to tell her not to do it. Then she happily does it anyway.

As both an author and an AI enthusiast, very mixed feelings about this. It really is a deep labor of love to write great books, and $3000/book is awfully insulting Pondering what would swing me to the "okay, @AnthropicAI's being fair" side. Maybe free Claude Max for authors
By my calculation, @AnthropicAI owes me around $60,000. There was a recent settlement where Anthropic is paying authors $3,000 per book that they illegally acquired and used for their training data. I've written a few books and can find almost 20 of mine in their stolen

One of my favorite developer tricks in the past few years is going all in on @atuinsh for shell history. It's gotten to the point where it is quite jarring to visit a shell not using it. https://t.co/eYYz7s8KYa

PSA if you're in the market for a Python web framework, you should check out @AirWebFramework. It brings together a lot of what's good in other products (FastAPI, Pydantic, support for Jinja, HTML in Python, HTMX) and leaves out much of the less fun stuff.

Warning off users from a public project that is in Alpha. 😅
Right now @pydanny and @audreyfeldroy are frantically coding up an AIR site for the Nano Banana Hackathon: a tool to make diagrams They fed the "Why?" page of the AIR docs into their hackathon project. It generated this handy diagram of why to use or not use AIR

Tip: You don't need python-dotenv, use "uv run" with --env-file, and your env vars from .env get loaded. For example, if you've got a @FastAPI project you can run it locally with env vars like: uv run --env-file .env fastapi dev

Stuff like Anthropic's $1.5b settlement is why I'm so hesitant to write another tech book. Months of my labor is worth significantly more than the $3k Anthropic _MIGHT_ pay me. Also, the other tech companies do the same. @simonw writes about the suit:

I wrote about the details of this case when it was found that Anthropic's training on book content was fair use, but they needed to have purchased individual copies of …

🤖 OpenAI rewrote Codex CLI in Rust 🦀 and it's actually good now! Lightweight, fast, works with ChatGPT subs. We tested it with @AirWebFramework. It learned the docs, planned the build, wrote the code, and fixed its own bugs. Open, flexible, legit! ⚡
