There’s gonna be an open space on Python and complex applications tomorrow at 10am in room 223+224:
“Is Python suitable for writing maintanable (complex) software?”
I’ll try to be there & as far as I am concerned, Betteridge's Law of Headlines doesn’t apply! #EuroPython

I just noticed something rather unfortunate: a negative payout in my GitHub Sponsors
a bit of spelunking revealed that apparently thanks.dev—that allows to transfer your money into GHS—has refunded a bunch of payments from last year.

Watching the frustratingly fruitless fights over the USEFULNESS of LLM-based coding helpers, I've come down to 3 points that explain why ppl seem to live in different realities:
Most programmers:
1) Write inconsequential remixes of trivial code that has been written many times before.
2) Lack the taste for good design & suck at code review in general (yours truly included).
3) Lack the judgement to differentiate between 1) & FOSS repos of nontrivial code, leading to PR slop avalanche.

James Jani is one of the best serious YouTubers out there and he burned out. So far, so common.
What I find interesting is something what he says that doesn’t resonate with me at all: “you gotta enjoy the process”
For me, I’ve NEVER enjoyed the process of creating ANYTHING.
I always:
1. wanted something to exist (sometimes out of spite 😇),
2. hated every second of making it happen,
3. enjoyed that it exists.
Guess there’re 2 types of creators. 😅
