The odd part about that Google Spreadsheets and Python post today from Twilio is that underlying library, gspread, is several years old. Twilio is also not the first one to write about the topic.
Randomness and timeliness to current events definitely play a factor. Maybe there's a trend right now of going "back to the basics" with things like microframeworks when it comes to building out MVP side projects.
- franciscop 10y agoTrends are a really interesting topic that I didn't consider. Some of the libraries that got in the front page in HN for me where riding the you might not need jquery/bootstrap wave (+small libraries), so I totally see that happening and didn't really consider it. There was definitely a Node.js, machine learning and arguably now there is a love/hate React wave. I'll try to dig deeper but this (trends) is not something I consider myself good at.
