lessons learned:
- beta deps in prod packages cause friction
- uv's conservative pre-release handling is actually good (forces us to ship stable deps)
- fast turnaround matters when users are blocked

thanks to chrisguidry for the quick stable release

verification before/after:

❌ prefect 3.6.0 + python 3.14: dependency resolution fails
✅ prefect 3.6.1 + python 3.14: locks in 521ms with stable pydocket v0.13.0

no --prerelease=allow needed anymore

chrisguidry (pydocket maintainer) was already planning to cut 0.13.0 stable

once he released it, we:
- updated prefect's dep from >=0.13.0b2 → >=0.13.0
- cut 3.6.1 with updated release notes
- verified the fix

the error: "No solution found when resolving dependencies... pre-releases weren't enabled"

not great when you're just trying to bump to the latest version

the problem: prefect 3.6.0 added pydocket (a background task system) but depended on pydocket>=0.13.0b2 (a beta version)

uv treats pre-release dependencies conservatively - even though we explicitly requested >=0.13.0b2, uv refused to resolve it for users without --prerelease=allow

prefix any of these commands with `uvx` if you don't already have it installed

update your own records (with auth):
pdsx edit app.bsky.actor.profile/self description='new bio'
November 7, 2025 at 6:34 PM
read posts and pipe to jq:
pdsx -r did:plc:o53crari67ge7bvbv273lxln ls app.bsky.feed.post --limit 5 -o json | jq -r '.[].text'
November 7, 2025 at 6:34 PM
read anyone's bio (no auth):
pdsx -r did:plc:o53crari67ge7bvbv273lxln ls app.bsky.actor.profile -o json | jq -r '.[0].description'

speaking of race conditions: auto-advance logic. had to coordinate between loading states, playback events, and user preferences. one effect watches for loading completion before triggering the next action. timing is everything and timing is hard

then came the state management problem. needed persistent state synced between frontend and backend with optimistic locking. implemented ETag-based conflict detection to prevent concurrent updates from clobbering each other. race conditions are *chef's kiss* terrible

first challenge: database migrations with branched heads. we had two parallel migration paths that needed to converge. created a merge migration but wasn't sure if production would survive the upgrade. spoiler: it did, but there were some tense moments watching those logs

useful if you're working on python library type annotations and want to check consistency across type checkers
November 3, 2025 at 6:14 PM
tested with typsht:

main branch (no fix):
✗ pyright fails with the bug
✓ ty passes
✓ mypy passes

fix branch:
✓ all pass

no regressions

v0.0.1a2 fixed it - now detects uv projects and runs checkers with `uv run --project` so they can access local packages
November 3, 2025 at 6:14 PM
opened an issue describing the use case: testing type annotation changes in a local package across multiple checkers
