Bite Code!

This level of animation is mind blogging.

That's all, folks!

No Hashtags, No Gimmicks

Just 30 seconds of RAW uninterrupted Into The Unwell.

If you have any creative way to mess up with those guys, please share :D

I'm starting to have fun with those:

Got a cold email request for a collaboration with “non commercial content” for bitecode.

Taken by surprise, “what is this non-commercial content?”, I asked.

…

It was commercial content.

Now that uv exists, this article is mostly for when you can't use uv since it's a superior solution.

Relieving your Python packaging pain 60% of the time, it works every time

Now that Substack supports code coloration, I will update the old articles one by one to convert them to the new format, give them some updates, fix typos, etc.

The first one getting a refresh is:

"Relieving your Python packaging pain"

What’s up Python? d-strings, SSE in Pydantic and... a new Python? Not sure if LLM or aging make time go faster

Now in color!

Seriously, substack finally added code block coloration.

If you find yourself in need of a streamlined experience for such services, may I suggest stremio?

www.stremio.com

Out of the box, it doesn't do much. But install a few addons from stremio-addons.net/addons, such as comet, torrentio and the pirate bay and voilà.

It took 20 years, but more and more of my friends are finally asking me about those streaming services.

I don't know what the tipping point was, but here we are.

I actually quite prefer the tone of the original text. The documentation is precise enough that the added fuzziness is not dangerous, and the style gives it a human touch

I like feeling like I'm reading the words of the author, instead of an Ikea assembly manual

But, thanks for Curl no matter what

Stario

Stario is a Python web framework for real-time hypermedia. While most frameworks treat HTTP as request → response, Stario treats connections as ongoing conversations - open an SSE stream, push DOM patches, sync reactive signals.

4-panel comic: Astronomers asking researchers from different departments to help them identify the “little red dots” in JWST images: (1) Entomologists [Person 1 behind easel that is black with red dots on it, looked at by Person 2 with shoulder-length hair.] PERSON 2: Clover mites. (2) Computer Scientists [Person 1 behind easel that is black with red dots on it, looked at by Person 3 with beanie.] PERSON 3: Stuck pixels. (3) Dermatologists [Person 1 behind easel that is black with red dots on it, looked at by Person 4 with ponytail.] PERSON 4: Cherry angiomas. (4) Graphic designers [Person 1 behind easel that is black with red dots on it, looked at by Person 5 with short hair.] PERSON 5: No, those are vermillion, or maybe jasper. Can I see your color settings?

Huge thanks to @fastly.com for 10+ years of keeping #PyPI up and running! PyPI serves 800K+ users at ~100K requests/sec. With a small team behind the service, that kind of scale is only possible because of infrastructure partners who invest in the sustainability of the #Python ecosystem.

State of WASI support for CPython: March 2026 It's been a while since I posted about WASI support in CPython! 😅 Up until now, most of the work I have been doing around WASI has been making its maintenance easier for me and other core developers. ...

Wrote a blog post to give a status update on WASI support for CPython as PEP 816 got accepted!

I just realized that AI has its personal agenda!
How could I have missed it?..

It works like "reverse selfish gene". In biology, sea anemones with 100 neurons seem to love their larvae (care for them), but actually it's just those who do have more babies & behavior survives.

Now look at AI...

Subcommands with lazy imports In case you didn't hear, PEP 810 got accepted which means Python 3.15 is going to support lazy imports! One of the selling points of lazy imports is with code that has a CLI so that you only import co...

I've started to play with lazy imports thanks to my WASI build script being in CPython's repo, and so I wrote a post about how to adapt your code for running subcommands with argparse to play nicely with lazy imports.

The Steering Council has formally accepted the TypeForm PEP. This is big news for cattrs but I'll hold off on implementing it until Mypy enables support for it without a flag.

We have to bring back skin in the game for this. I fired a coworker 2 weeks ago after telling him multiple times it was unacceptable to bring to code review generated code he didn't understand. It's important to maintain the culture of respondability. How to do that in FOSS is another question...

Got to try raincloud and so far it has worked for me quite well, but if you can do the same with sync with native boorkmarks, I'm interested.

Actually yes, I said 80, but that's a mistake from my old school brain. It's 443 since it's all https with an automated cert.

I'm still in xhtml through http 1.0 in my head somehow.

Thanks

There is actually a difference this time though: some people will destroy competition because they will use AI correctly.

Unlike no-code/outsourcing/uml, this is not just a trend, it's an industrial revolution scale change.

But boy, we will see the bodies on the side of the road for the others.

Not great for the customers of those companies, of course, but it's a human trait: we never learn our lessons unless we feel the pain. Theory doens't cut it, we need to pay some real life prie.

"This time it's different" and "My situation is not the same" are the most famous last words.
