My #fantasy #horror short story, "The Curse," is in this list of free reads. storyoriginapp.com/bundles/019e...

See unix.foo/posts/nobody..., which mirrors my thoughts. For reference, we know LLM vendors illegally slurped up millions of tech books because they paid us authors settlements for doing so. With that in mind, if we update Two Scoops of Django, will enough people actually buy it?

Just moved my personal site over to @FastAPIcloud by @tiangolo and team. So happy to see the implementation of custom domains by them. It's exciting to be part of the future! daniel.feldroy.com

I consistently have the worst possible luck in Settlers of Cataan. This is why I do not play that board game.

This month's concussion update. I can't wait for the need to document my progress to end. daniel.feldroy.com/posts/2026-0...

I made a thing. grimdaniel.com

Just put up my new site, where I'm posting about the dark fantasy fiction I'm writing. Posting this here to see how it looks on bluesky. grimdaniel.com

Yes!! www.nasa.gov/blogs/missio...

These days, and for the past few years, Google doc's spell and grammar checks are really bad. I'm forced to use other tools. It really reinforces my belief that Google's ensh*******tion of core products (search, docs, etc) was a huge driver in the rapid rise of AI.

Coffee shops in Manila have skills

Just created a dedicated page on my personal site for my next forthcoming fantasy book. Check it out! daniel.feldroy.com/books/everyo...

How did I live so long in the world and not know the name of this variant of foreshadowing? daniel.feldroy.com/posts/til-20...

My top terminal tools in early 2026: daniel.feldroy.com/posts/2026-0... Of course it includes the awesome @atuin.sh. It also displays what I believe is the common lack of loyalty to LLM vendors.

I spent about 75% of my life in NJ and MD, which is in the middle of a blizzard. I love snowfall, admiring the blanket of white, walking in fresh or old snow, shovelling it around, and the inevitable melt. Sometimes you don't know what treasures you have until they are gone.

I remember several years of absolute glory for Heroku. For years the tech, UI, documentation and customer support were second to none. During that golden period a lot of money was spent on that platform because it was worth it. RIP Heroku: www.heroku.com/blog/an-upda...

Addressing 173 tickets worth of feedback from @adamj.eu. The unbelievable amount of focus on his part is astounding. He's amazing! Been working to knock out tickets daily. The more I work these tickets the more my imposter syndrome is triggered. Doing my best to turn that feeling into inspiration.

Every time I walk down Ayala Avenue in Makati this is what I see in my head. I think of all the traffic driving right past dying retail replaced with booming restaurants and businesses. Imagine the surge in collectable retail taxes for the city.

The differences between US and British English can be charming. In the US we commonly write: "Be familiar with X" In the UK they commonly write: "Familiarize yourself with X" Both are correct English but in only England there is a strong difference in tone. Ping fellow author @adamj.eu 😅

Confession time: I used to be addicted to pop-tarts. I had to fight the urge to buy a box or pack whenever I saw them. Then I would binge eat them until I got sick. I'm proud to say that in 2025 I was pop-tart free. Here's to staying clean for another year.

The Air web framework has a brand new home page! An airy breeze explaining what Air is about. airwebframework.org

Another year using @atuin.sh. Thanks @ellie.wtf!

Merry Christmas! 🎄 I just helped @audrey.feldroy.com release this year's implementation of the deckthehalls Christmas card. If you have `uv`, just run: uvx deckthehalls Run it several times 😉

Do I know anyone in Taipei? We just put together a trip from December 25 until January 1. We're open to meeting up for coffee and kid-friendly activities.

Anyone know whowho built www.cookiecutter.io ? I would like to talk to them. 🙂

Air 0.43 has dropped, which uses FastAPI 0.125.0 or higher. FastAPI is finally off supporting Python 3.8 and Pydantic v1! In theory this shouldn't affect anything, but edge cases may appear. If something breaks, we'll make fixing bugs caused by this update our priority. ☁️

Messing with those who keep poking for holes.

GiHub pages appear to be down.😣

In converting Two Scoops of Django's LaTeX to Markdown, Gemini sometimes uses stolen copies as citations. I keep having to tell it to stop using citations, only rely on the sources I provide. That's to help ensure that the LLM isn't adding slop, just converting formats.

Somehow I got out of the habit of posting TILs. Here's me getting back into the habit: daniel.feldroy.com/posts/til-20...

12 years! Would have been sooner but I missed a notification. github.com/meshy/python...

@fastapi.tiangolo.com book in Japan! 📖♥️

In Japan scheduled parent and kid classes are a big thing. That includes martial arts. Hence, today my daughter Uma and I will take our very first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class together!

Just landed in Japan. It's fun to explore new places!

Off to Japan for the first time! Hope to see you there! daniel.feldroy.com/posts/2025-1...

Today has seen my daughter's first exposure to Monty Python. A historic day indeed!
