I wrote loads of examples for Clientele. All of them can be copy/pasted and will work. Includes simple GET/POST, data validation, configuration, response parsing, async examples, custom headers, error handling.

Expect to see much much more of this going forward. I actually feel sorry for students right now. The temptation to be lazy and shortcut their studies will mean they will nothing of value.

A good explanation of how we could be entering the "industrial age of software" and how it could actually benefit hand-coded software over time.

This book is a big reason for me rediscovering my passion for programming. Tim’s enthusiastic and optimistic mindset about technology and the potential of it is infectious. I realised so many times in my own life how similar my thoughts have been. I’m a huge fan.
It’s an inspiring book - read it.

Clientele can generate a fully typed HTTP client in Python and then load it in explorer mode so you can debug and test the API through a REPL.
You can do this right now with any OpenAPI service like PokeAPI.co
clientele explore -u raw.githubusercontent.com/PokeAPI/poke...
#python #api #fastapi

Hey #python devs.
I’ve spent most of this year planning and building my ultimate API client library for OpenAPI.
I’ve got it to version 1.0.0 and I’d love for you to try it out.
phalt.github.io/clientele/
It’s the result of years of experience dealing with #API integrations.
Enjoy!

I love starting a new old game. Flicking through the manual, smelling the case, watching the intro cutscenes. We had it so good.

In love with the Vagrant Story aesthetic. I believe if it was remastered it would lose a lot of charm. The PS1 graphics really enhance the style.

Day 21 of 3DS everyday in 2025.
I have nearly all the puzzles in Streetpass. I think the maximum you can get on an account is 1878 which means I have one 15 piece puzzle left to collect. Then I just have to finish them all.

Day 17 of 3DS everyday 2025. And I have officially completed my run of Pokemon Black. The final Elite 4 was pretty tough but it was a nice challenge.
My Lucario from Sinnoh delivered the final blow.
