My book, Accessibility For Everyone, is now free and online as a website. accessibilityforeveryone.site The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but when it comes to web performance, if you're measuring in seconds, you're admitting defeat.

I'm going live on the @talkpython podcast at the bottom of the hour to talk about #dataStar with Michael and the creators of the framework. Join us! www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFc7...

I'm going to be on the @talkpython.fm podcast to talk about #dataStar. Is there anything. you'd like us to talk about?

I just ran an experiment about web page rendering. A status page includes a table of 200 items pulled from the database. Option A: streaming HTML that is generated on the fly Option B: Load the shell and leverage #DataStar and Server-Sent Events to populate the table and related data.

I spent years researching the "traditional" #refactoring advice and how #Python is different and created a Refactoring Toolkit. I'm discounting it 60% off for single licenses till the end of the year. Grab a copy. Let it help you write more maintainable code! everydaysuperpowers.dev/resources/py...

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

I finally pushed publish on why I moved from HTMX to Datastar. everydaysuperpowers.dev/articles/why... This feels a little more like a conference talk than a blog post, but there was too much to sum up, but not enough to overwhelm. I'd love to know your thoughts! #HTMX #DataStar #python

Hey #Django fam do I Know anybody at Zest Health? They've got some jobs I'm interested in and are apparently a django shop. Boosts appreciated!

Firestore query UI: Which of the 25 fields do you want me to display, all of them? Me: Just completion percentage. F: OK! I'll just show you completion percentage and two others. Me: Just completion percentage. F: Sorry! I'll show just that one for a minute. Then I'll show you all of them.

I just published article 5 of my intro to event sourcing blog series, showing how to get started with event sourcing by using the eventsourcing PYPI package. Let me know what questions you have lingering from my series. everydaysuperpowers.dev/articles/get... #eventSourcing #python

Agreed. This talk is amazing, even for #Python developers. I rewatch this gem every six months and continue to learn and grow from it.

I posted this last week, asking for #Python users to fill out a silly little survey. I got quite a few responses! I can use this! It'll be hilarious! I can still use more answers, though. I hope with a few more responses I get more obvious standouts answers. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Use #Python at all? I would like to do a silly thing, which I hope will bring amusement to others as well as me (if it works out). If you wouldn't mind, please fill out this form, and boost for reach: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Thanks to @davidism.bsky.social and the people behind the scenes, my talk "Death to the spinner: event sourcing for reactive web apps" is now available. It shows how to create a reactive web experience with #eventSourcing and the #dataStar JS framework. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3jN...

Still not over how cool it is to fearlessly replay events in production. I do it all the time, and it just works.

Exciting news!! The first batch of #PyConUS 2025 recordings is now available on the PyCon US YouTube channel here: www.youtube.com/c/pyconus#PyConUS 🐍 📺 Stay tuned - more recordings will be added soon!

By popular demand, we’re having an event sourcing open space at 5, room 315 #PyConUS

Learnt about both "event sourcing" and the datastar framework from @_chrismay at #Flaskcon #PyconUS Really intriguing way to track data as events, and stream event changes back. Still trying to wrap my head around it! Chris demo'ed this app: github.com/Chris-May/mo...

Ep182: Event Sourcing with Chris May is now live! Chris is a Senior Staff Engineer at WellSky, a software company in the health industry. We discuss his background as a graphic designer, learning #Python and #Django as an adult, #HTMX, event sourcing, and more. djangochat.com/episodes/eve...

On Friday at 5:15, I'll be speaking about how #eventSourcing can make your app faster at #FlaskCon! us.pycon.org/2025/events/... #pyConUS

If the goal is to "cover all code—all branches", then that's testing from a certain point of view, what you might think of as "characterization" testing. Super valuable, but if the code is actually wrong, and you want to ensure that it does what it _should_ do, that's a different goal.

A little clip from a recent keynote I gave, featuring Refried 🎶

The phrase ‘just deserts’ has only one S. It has nothing to do with desserts 🧁or deserts 🏜️. The word ‘desert’ is spelled like🏜️ and pronounced like🧁. It's related to ‘deserve’ and means “reward or punishment deserved or earned by one’s qualities or acts.”

I've been told that writing software in the 80s was horrible, with managers pushing developers to work long days and hours to meet demands. This is the space that gave birth to the agile movement. I feel like we're heading towards this again.

Happy Perfect Date Day! Where I am in the world it is truly "not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket" I hope you all take this Friday to go on a perfect date, on the perfect date with your perfect date.

We’ll have to check their Planner Planners & Task Project Online Tasks To Do page.

It seems Microsoft's Microsoft Teams has changed the UI to remove the "Teams" tab. I wonder what happened to the Microsoft "Microsoft Teams" Teams Team.

I'm meeting my internal goal to publish the fourth of five blog posts about my experience with event sourcing, vertical slice architecture, and event modeling. Enjoy it! Part 4: Event Sourcing: Reactivity Without the React Overhead everydaysuperpowers.dev/articles/eve... #eventSourcing #Python

Most Python developers I've interacted with had no idea enums had abilities beyond storing static variables. I just published an article showcasing some of their superpowers. everydaysuperpowers.dev/articles/sup... #Python

One thing's sure: I've gotten much better at spelling "asynchronous" over the last couple of years.

Are you going to #PyConUS next month? If so, @trey.io has a starter pack for you, with lots of others who will be there. (And if you're on the fence about attending, you should go! It's oodles of fun, and you're learn a lot, besides.)

I just published the third of a planned five-piece series on my enjoyment of #eventSourcing in #Python. This one digs into the software industry's problem with coupling and how my switch helps relieve unwanted coupling. everydaysuperpowers.dev/articles/pre...

I just published my second blog post in the series about event sourcing, where I explain the benefits of the pattern that drew me in to it. everydaysuperpowers.dev/articles/wha... #eventSourcing #Python

After 20 years of programming like those around me, how I write software has drastically changed in the last 12 months. With the change, I wanted things to settle before sharing. So: I have embraced #eventSourcing, and I want to show you why. everydaysuperpowers.dev/articles/why... #Python

It's fascinating how many developers have listed on their resume: experience withc"OOPS concepts"

I need everyone to know that you don't actually need a special EV charger to own an EV. I still haven't installed one since buying my EV in September. I plug it into the wall and move on. No problems at all.

One of the benefits of #EventSourcing that continues to come up is the ability to answer questions that you didn't originally have when creating a system. With a state-overwrite system (aka non-event-sourced), you lose the trail of changes unless you explicitly build it in.

This CSS holographic effect by @hejchristian.com is amazing 😍 codepen.io/HejChristian...

Last year I heeded advice to practice TDD on one test kata every day for two weeks before switching to another. I cannot recommend this practice enough. It really sharpens the programming mind.

I bought a ticket to #pyConUS! I hope to see you there!

Repeat after me "t" is for "toy". Amazon "t-series" instances are cheap and great at many things, but the CPU is burstable and you get throttled down OFTEN after heavy CPU use for a few seconds. They should not be used for performance critical production workloads.

I just found out that my recent talk at DjangoCon about when to choose a #SPA architecture or one that leverages Hypermedia with tools like #HTMX has suddenly become popular! djangotv.com/videos/djang...

Catching up on the "mobile web is languishing" dialogue on @adactio.com[1] started by @gruber.foo[2] and I want to celebrate RogueEngine's post[3]: We need more bullish optimism about the web. [1] adactio.com/journal/21728 [2] daringfireball.net/2025/01/one_... [3] rogueengine.io/blog/your-ap...

I had a win highlighting why I have been excited about #eventSourcing. My project processes files in multiple phases, and I built a status page to track progress. It became apparent that the team needed to know how long each file took.

Current vibe: rearranged my office so I can watch today's snowfall as I work. 😌

There's nothing quite like a project that is easily testable. The project I'm writing is nothing like an easily testable project. 😭
