This feels like a super interesting keyboard milestone.

We now have columnar keyboards with magnetic switches! There is a future for this tech in ergo-boards! Fun!

I make truely interactive Python packages now!

Vincent D. Warmerdam @koaning.bsky.social · 5d

Just a personal take, but more people should consider making Python packages to target interactive notebooks. There's so much fun to be had this way, not to mention learning.

It's one of the coolest competitions in the world IHMO.

Sometimes you use a tool for so long that you just assume it's the tool to use. And, that's bad. There's loads of improvements these days, especially in the terminal!

One recent example: turns out there's an awesome "ls" replacement called "eza"!

There's a bunch of folks that ask me things like "what makes a good devrel?" and honestly I can't come up with a simple answer.

That said, sofar all the "devrel" that I enjoy to follow all seem to listen to this podcast: scalingdevtools.com/.

So go treat yourself.

Banned imports from flake8/ruff are such a nice video I felt compelled to make a video about it.

It's a simple enough trick. Blogpost here: https://koaning.io/posts/ruff-banned-imports/

Vincent D. Warmerdam @koaning.bsky.social · Sep 18

It is.

By the end of it, no file will be left untitled!

I was thinking about SQLAlchemy and how it has specific features for different backends. PostgresSQL has JSON support, for example, but Sqlite doesn't.

TIL about banned import rules for ruff. You can use them to make sure that nobody uses a specific submodule.

TIAL that there's a SQLAlchemy use-case for it!

It turns out that you can buy MX switches with ... ball bearings?

It's totally over-engineered, but ... I may have also found a use-case for them ...

Details are in my latest review:

Some switches come with ball-bearings. But why?

I can see the merits of pyproject.toml for sure, but requirements.txt still feels fair enough for smaller projects imho.

Wrote about it in more detail here:

Vincent D. Warmerdam @koaning.bsky.social · Sep 8

"dev-requirements.txt" is bad and "requirements-dev.txt" makes much more sense.

It's also the perfect project to move around. Have tried about 6 cloud services now and moved it again this weekend. f

What's cool this time around: it all runs with SQLite!
