Like...standards? That's not JSON. It almost is, but it's not. If you want to parse that, write a parser, but the json library parses JSON. 🤷

In fairness, there are some nice things in your SDK - actually providing classes for your schemas is useful.

Has anyone used an automatic translation tool that generated code in multiple languages that does sensible things in #python? AWS CDK and Docusign both use such tools, both generate libraries that are awkward (and in some cases just wrong).

If your going to publish a #python SDK for your service, add type hints. Also, understand what "async" means in that language, not what your automated translation took thinks it does. Looking at you here, @docusign.bsky.social

It's currently in mine since VSCode refuses to talk to pageant every morning after waking up without a reload. Ugh.

I went to choir practice, my phone was annoying the hell out of me vibrating in my pocket because I'd forgotten to turn DND on. Figured it was friends chatting on WhatsApp. Came out of practice to find a coup had happened ... 😱

I give you this with no comment. But it made me almost spit my coffee out this morning with laughter.

I struggle to remember now, but I recall I used it to read news, tech articles, blogs and also online cartoons. It did a great job of displaying the images, but stripping out the rubbish making it easy to read. At one point I had over 100 feeds. After, I just stopped follwing most.

Two things:
I don't think they're mutually exclusive so needing to do one is not a reason not to do the other.

I sat with my dad earlier this year as he slowly died. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

@transport_wales Why is your site reporting a "good service" on the Cityline while engineering work is going on?

What do people with smaller teams use for roadmap and idea tracking (B2B products)? We used Aha in a previous place but it very much feels like overkill for the current team/product. Mainly I want customer-facing idea portal and some roadmapping through to Jira for the dev team.

Well, a large part of the tech community and some big names (Stephen Fry for one) I follow has either left Twitter or added to their social media apps by signing up to Mastodon. What is it? https://mjcarty.com/2022/11/12/mastodon-faq-toot-sweet/

I see #Evri and @Wayfair are working hard to compete for "worst customer service" this weekend.

An hour of sitting down and working out the design and flow of a complex thing (and complex varies depending on skill) is 10x better than just diving in to a whole day of writing and rewriting code and results in cleaner, more readable and logical code.

2/2 ...useful for learning the principles for taking to other industries difficult to find - any recommendations for things you've come across?

@nmeans Watched your session from LeadDev on UA232. Great story telling - resonated really strongly, I've been working on bringing lessons from aviation to both tech and medical (through volunteer work with SJACymru) for many years. I find generic CRM resources... 1/2

A long shift with some really difficult jobs on Friday, so after some discussions with colleagues yesterday to walk through the job, I'm taking some time to put thoughts down in a reflection today and get them out of my head.

@cardiffcouncil Reported blocked road drain last week, crew are out clearing it today! That's fast service - please pass on our thanks to the team! 👍

Hey @Authy users of our site are getting some very random logos when adding our site to the app. Images I can't even find on a google image search with the same term. How can I influence the logo that users get on our site?

There are times when @awscloud feels like a poorly implemented toy project. If you happen to be using Fargate and want to deploy a new version of your software, should be simple right? Nope: https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/3064
