Everyone assumes the best AI coding workflow is: let AI generate V1, then maintain it by hand. I'm finding the opposite works better. Write the first version yourself — pour your taste and instincts into it. Then let AI handle the features, cleanup, and maintenance. A hand-written codebase is a style guide written in code. AI reads it and extends it faithfully. Without that foundation, everything regresses toward the mean. The human provides the soul. The AI provides the scale. kennethreitz.org/essays/2026…

Write It First, Then Let AI Drive

There's a thing that happens when you start using AI coding tools seriously. You assume the best workflow is obvious: let AI generate the first draft, then...

PyCon US has started! So far I am very disappointed in the first keynote -- it's just a product pitch and the speaker isn't that engaging. Sorry.

With 12 months ahead of us, there’s plenty of time to learn a new programming language or build a new project. Break it down into smaller steps for better success — and don’t forget to bring an HHKB along on your journey!

Dear #pycon presenters. Here are my accessibility requests for next year. 1. No colorized code on black backgrounds. Blue or purple or gray is really hard to read. 2. Use large text please. I cannot read your regular terminal font. PLEASE.

Neat to see on Hacker News... in position one, "Cisco Acquires Splunk", then in position three "Show HN: My Single-File Python Script I Used to Replace Splunk in My Startup" ... and that single-file Python script solution turns out to use @datasetteproj! github.com/Dicklesworthstone…

This popular talk of mine on learning @rustlang (one that also happens to be personally important to me!) was recently made private; is there anyone at @CrowdStrike that can help make it public again? (Or get me a copy so I can make it available?) reddit.com/r/rust/comments/9…

My favorite app to get pricing/plan inspiration is @flightradar24 3 plans: - Basic: free - Silver: $9.99/y - Gold: $34.99/y And if you tap a feature you want to use but not on plan yet it shows a 🔐 and popup to upgrade 800,000 subs @ $9.99 to $34.99 = $8M to $28M revenue/y

Tech sales is wild sometimes. Confluent is a glorified wiki that barely works and they grow 38% in the middle of a recession. The only excuse I can think of is that it’s such a tedious tool to replace with poor alternatives that procurement always delays it for another year.
