I wrote down my thoughts on the latest release of uv and what it means for Rye and other tools in the space. In short: you all should be looking at uv and start to rally around it. lucumr.pocoo.org/2024/8/21/h…

Incidentally if anyone out there thinks “A for-profit company which legalized building housing would be valuable and I’m just crazy enough to build it” I will write you a small check.

the Recurse Center is an experiment in asking:
what are technologists capable of when they take the time, are given the space, and are surrounded by a stupendous amount of grit, want, and community?

... and now, a word from our take over-er, aka me aka Greg:
what is the Recurse Center..?
it is the most inspiring place I’ve ever attended. it has every single best trait from hackathons, meetups, conferences, maker labs, hacker spaces, r&d labs, art studios and writer’s room.

You can build something great
Everyone who’s ever done something great has at least two things in common: they started, and they didn’t quit when things got hard. This goes for any kind of work, including programming.

all the mimetic pull in the US is to expensive cities in the US. everything is pulling toward more work, more busyness, less family time, and more anxiety
if I'm going to find a home base in the US I think I need to swim against this current. time to go anti-mimetic

Same with JetBrains IDEs. They always want something for you. I call it “needy software”. When I open IDE, I don’t want to do what IDE needs. I want IDE to do what I need. I want to be in charge. God bless Sublime

I was forced to use vscode for something and while I'm typing THREE boxes popped up. How is this possibly useful to people?

I don't know who needs to hear this but:
ESpresso is the coffee, EXpresso is just former Presso.

Prices at Five Guys basically doubled at the start of covid. I went in and thought they had rang up some family's order instead of mine but nope.

WE DID IT. My new zine “How Git Works" is out now!
You can get it here for $12: wizardzines.com/zines/git/

ALT three people tending to trees in an enchanted sparkly forest. Each of the people has long curly brown hair, light brown skin, pointed ears, and wears a long blue dress. They have various gardening tools, like scythes and trowels with them, and one carries a bag with an image of a slice of watermelon. One is pouring an urn of water onto the roots of a tree. The trees are filled with birds and squirrels, and with pieces of paper with illustrations of fruit with various facial expressions on them. The illustrations of fruit are slightly different from one tree to another.

I’m heading to the SFBA for a bit of business today, and thought I’d organize a meetup while I’m in the area. If you’re interested in software, the sort of stuff I write about in Bits about Money, etc, feel free to come on out.
It will be in Berkeley on Thursday June 6th.

Lovely quote from a guest 😍
"I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the retreat at FRC. The peace and quiet and positive energy was just what I needed. I felt refreshed and healthy and got a lot of work done!"
