The idea of starting the year on January 1st comes from ancient Rome, not tradition or religion 🧠📜.
It was chosen for Janus, the god of beginnings, who looked both backward and forward — exactly what we still do on New Year’s Eve.

I cannot emphasize enough how good reviews provide your fave authors with both happiness and algorithmic favor.

Most people find new books via Amazon, and Amazon picks the books they want to show you (in part) from sales velocity and reviews.
"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—"

Reviews.

Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)

Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

ty is awesome ✨

I'm amazed at Astral's technical excellence and developer experience focus.

Ty is not only crazy fast, it improves what's possible with Python (check their Type System docs).

And the editor support, chef kiss 🤩

uv+just for testing multiple Python versions
In the old days we relied on tox and nox to test a Python project against multiple Python versions, now we can lean on uv+just. For most projects this keeps our configuration straightforward and reduces dependencies.

In Firefox you can press "ctrl+shift+s" to open an in-browser screenshot taker. Since it's integrated into the browser it's got some features the OS screenshotter doesn't, like "adjust region" and DOM selector
