"Fundamental" truths about software: - Code is liability - The more code you have, the more bugs you tend to have - The more complex a system, the more important architecture becomes - Writing maintainable code is a lot more effort than just getting it to work

Python tip: You can use itertools "groupby" to group items in an iterator according to a key function. This function takes an iterator and a key function, and returns an iterator that generates pairs of keys and groups of items with that key. 👇

This is a very cool Python project. Stelvio manages AWS primitives in a very pythonic way (pulumi under the hood). An incredibly valuable to learn both python and IaC

Python tip: You can combine multiple iterators of different length with "zip_longest" function. This itertools function returns an iterator that generates tuples from two or more iterators, padding missing items with a default value if necessary. 👇

Version 4.0.0 of #Textual is hot out of the oven. 🥖 This version has support for efficient Markdown streaming, which is often a requirement for building interfaces to #AI services. 🤖 If you use this to build Skynet, put in a good word for me with the machines.
