Ah finally, critique of agentic coding (Gas Town, etc) from the pro-LLM side. I respect these sort of opinions more than I do the "it's new and I don't like it" critiques lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/1/18/ag...

Hey everyone, We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history. Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

I have a theory that those of us who were raised on IRC or AIM are absolutely insufferable in Slack to those who were not, because instead of writing a three-paragraph thing, we'll break that up into 15 comments.

LLMs and other tools are great, use them wisely 🧙 fastapi.tiangolo.com/contributing...

I’m incredibly excited to serve on this coming term’s Steering Council! Working on CPython has been one of the most rewarding endeavours of my career. I’m so grateful to everyone who voted & honoured that so many placed their trust in me. peps.python.org/pep-8107/

Wow, Nushell has progressed a ton since the last time I checked it out! www.nushell.sh It's fast, the syntax is nice, the data types are well balanced, that's a nice shell. Apparently, it runs on the locked-down laptop of my current employer at a decent speed, and integrates with vscode and conda

What coding with an LLM feels like sometimes.

A great mini doc from Cult Repo about @fastapi.tiangolo.com and the one and only @tiangolo.com! Always awesome to hear Sebastián talk about how important developer experience is to FastAPI!

While I am not surprised that @savannah.dev and @jakebailey.dev are #1 and #3 for interactions here and I say "Python" the most according to anisota.net/harvest/snar... , I am surprised that "Vancouver" didn't make the word cloud for me based on my #1 and #3 people I interact with 😁

I will fully admit that cloud deployments were a design consideration for pylock.toml, so I'm beyond happy to see @tiangolo.com and team at @fastapi.tiangolo.com use it for one of its intended use cases!

It's true: I've joined @glyph, @offby1, @amethyst and @petrillic in gift-matching donations to @ThePSF I've done gift matching before, because I think the PSF is doing tremendous work and I want more people to realize that. I was planning on doing gift matching for the end-of-year, but this way […]

do i have any connections with the linux foundation following me? if so, can you dm me? :)

This week, the #python Software Foundation rejected a $1.5MM NSF grant, due to a requirement that the PSF abandon diversity work. So I joined forces with Python folks (@offby1, @petrillic, @amethyst) and we're matching up to $12,000 of donations to the PSF. 🧵
