NumPy's type completeness was 33%. @marcogorelli.bsky.social fixed a typo to get it to 80%! Now it's at almost 90%. Cool post telling the story and showing how to check Python type completeness percentage: pyrefly.org/blog/numpy-t...

Release 0.37.0: - Adds the first draft of the Air Book by @audrey.feldroy.com - Vastly improved llms.txt files - Bugfix for Jinja rendering of non-AirTag data - Two new first time contributors! github.com/feldroy/air/...

It's still early in @airwebframework.bsky.social's development, so it's cool to see @intellectronica.net (of Ruler fame, github.com/intellectron...) post this thread about already having a positive experience using @airwebframework.bsky.social When you do open source, this stuff keeps you going :)

Sending out email newsletters is something I've absolutely feared for years Yesterday @daniel.feldroy.com and I finally rebooted ours, sending out an update for the first time in 5 years We got a few more requests to join after we sent that out. We'll send it to the ~10 of you hopefully by tonight

Getting ready to send out the first newsletter from me and @daniel.feldroy.com in years. Sharing our updates + dev advice/opinions that we don't share publicly If you want in for free, DM me your email address - all welcome! It'll be a paid newsletter soon but you can get grandfathered in free now

Hi, this is Air, the new web framework that breathes fresh air into Python web development

I've figured that @airwebframework.bsky.social works with React in production, for anyone needing to use it that way 🚀 In my AIR app, I created a Jinja template that works with any arbitrary 1-file React app

Documenting last week's historic moment with @daniel.feldroy.com at Python Philippines, because AIR will grow up to be a big web framework one day

The secret project we soft-launched Saturday is github.com/feldroy/air - but note it’s not fully launched, not ready for users yet. More of a preview “hey, check out what I just started working on but don’t look too closely” type of thing

In ~12 hours @daniel.feldroy.com and @isaac-flath.bsky.social will speak about the AI-augmented coding side of how they implement pieces of Air, our new Python web framework. Go sign up (free!) at maven.com/p/0ede3d/mak...

Soft-launching the secret-but-not-secret new open source project with @daniel.feldroy.com at Python Philippines in an hour!

This sounds like a challenge

Spending my Saturday morning updating github.com/audreyfeldroy/cookiecutter-pypackage/ - it is taking a lot of courage to face those PRs and failing tests but I am getting through it

A web framework or other tool is only as good as its ecosystem. Nurturing its third-party package ecosystem leads to its growth and longevity.

So I decided to use Python to work on my ear training... and I've done a post on how I started. naomiceder.substack.com/p/diy-ear-tr... Also on my site at www.naomiceder.tech/posts/ear_tr...

I think one of the keys to happiness is surrounding yourself with positive, encouraging, open-minded people. People who uplift you when you try new things, and who give you the courage to keep trying more.

I've left R&D at Answer.AI to focus on independent AI for good & web research projects. I learned so much pair-programming with the best AI researchers in the world, and putting the Lean Startup method into practice daily. Deeply grateful to @howard.fm and @ericries.bsky.social for my time there.

I’m in awe of all the work Tamara has put into the community over the years. And it’s a lot 🫨! You’ve got to listen to this episode of @pypodcats.live when it drops.

I was kinda surprised that people joined my new discord, and got a bit excited yesterday and created and published a new website around it and started with a new free tutorial :D Check it out: kentro-learn.com/free-content...

Leave it to @daniel.feldroy.com to put hidden Unicode characters into his git branch names

Playing with Marimo notebooks, a reinvention of Jupyter notebooks to be reactive like Observable notebooks. After getting past the rough learning curve, I'm starting to see how fun they are. And a Vega-Altair heatmap of x^2 + y^2, to make the screenshot pretty.

Yesterday I recovered from breaking my New Year's resolution to post a new notebook every day. This notebook helped me realize the root cause: frustration over losing work that I cared about. audrey.feldroy.com/nbs/2025-02-...

Coincidentally @daniel.feldroy.com told me the same thing yesterday morning 😂 thanks both for the encouragement to fix this! I got through implementing it partway for all the notebooks except the MonsterUI ones. Shared my process for creating that nav component: audrey.feldroy.com/nbs/2025-02-...

I never thought I would appreciate Jupyter notebooks enough to do this sort of thing, but I totally get it now. Here's how I create Python scripts from useful notebooks: audrey.feldroy.com/nbs/2025-02-...

A CLI tool can be as simple as a Python function. I made a walkthrough showing how to create a lightweight command line tool using fastcore.script: audrey.feldroy.com/nbs/2025-02-...

TIL I can copy a word in Vim to my system clipboard with "+yiw "+ - use system clipboard register y - yank (copy) iw - the entire inner word (not just part)

This is super inspiring @lukasz.langa.pl and your art is beautiful

I got to see a real baby photo of myself in super resolution, even clearer than TopazLabs' Gigapixel!

At @pydatalondon.bsky.social. Meet me if you're here!

Tonight I turned sentences into embedding vectors and visualized their similarity. audrey.feldroy.com/nbs/2025-02-...

I have way too many "Untitled.ipynb" files. Got them organized by bulk-renaming them using the Gemini API tonight audrey.feldroy.com/nbs/2025-02-...

Security matters. This is a wake-up call for those of us releasing AI products. Let's study and consider this exposure walkthrough carefully, and learn from it.

I've been finding it helpful to use datetime with fastcore's L and map, and functools' partial. I shared some useful functions here to print my colleagues' current times, and generate Discord timestamps which localize Unix timestamps to the user's timezone. audrey.feldroy.com/nbs/2025-01-...

ummm just release an american deeperseek at an even lower cost. why do i always have to do the thinking around here

I just learned blender python api and this is what I decided to code

Hello world! I posted this via the Python SDK. I should probably go back to sleep now

Ok, quick thread on why DeepSeek is blowing up assumptions about LLMs and maybe the whole (U.S.) AI industry. DeepSeek is an AI lab funded by a Chinese hedge fund, their AI code is open source, meaning freely available to use, which most big U.S. models (aside from Meta’s) are not. That’s the start…

I just improved my website in little ways: better code block padding, adding my name and date to posts, fixing unexported routes. The entire codebase powering it is now audrey.feldroy.com/nbs/2025-01-...

Tonight I dug deeper into figuring out how to customize Pygments. It's really a wonderful library. I also experimented with programmatically modifying line lengths. audrey.feldroy.com/nbs/2025-01-...

Today is truly a sad day for the Python community, as we mourn the passing of Michael “voidspace” Foord. Most people will know him for his mock package (and later stdlib module), but those of us who had the pleasure to meet him… almost all my memories of him are delightfully goofy. 1/2

The time @daniel.feldroy.com and I spent with Michael Foord at PyCon UK 2023 in Cardiff is most of what I remember from that conference. RIP you will be missed

Very sad to hear about the passing of Michael Foord. We had many great conversations over the years. He also taught courses for me off-and-on for more than 10 years. RIP my friend.

Stunned beyond words to hear that my dear friend Michael "voidspace" Foord has passed away. Life is so fleeting, and I wish we had arranged to hang out more often now that me and the family live in London.

Today's notebook uses Pillow (PIL) to create its own image, right in itself: audrey.feldroy.com/nbs/2025-01-...

Yesterday I rewrote my blog in a post on my blog, then exported it as the main.py that runs the blog. audrey.feldroy.com/nbs/2025-01-...

I experimented with SVG animations in FastHTML! audrey.feldroy.com/nbs/2025-01-...

I switched some ‘low’ traffic Django sites to SQLite earlier last year and it has been working well. Time to cross check my configs to see if I’m missing anything 👀

Trying `git config --global column.ui auto` and I like it. The less I have to scroll through anything, the better

I love this
