Yeah. Even patch version upgrade from 3.12.3 to 3.12.4 broke a lot of packages. https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/issues/22692

Good point. Have you seen any major advantage of using async API in practice?

I don't recommend it. But for certain use-cases, as mentioned in the article itself, it is unavoidable. Further, you might be working at a company that has decided to use Python, and you can make Python more efficient and effective usi

Exactly, many compiled languages like Java and Go do not suffer from this issue.

Many famous libraries like Spacy do not support Python 3.13 and are stuck on Python 3.12 (Oct 2023). So, even if this comes out in Python 3.14, any non-trivial project will have to wait till Oct 2026 (or Oct 2027) to be able to use it. 1 -

As someone who maintains a Music+Podcast app as a hobby project, I intentionally have no servers for it. You don't need one. You can fetch RSS feeds directly on mobile devices; it is faster, less work to maintain, and has a smaller att

Indeed, based on the comments, it is a scissor-bug. Most people never encountered it while some encountered it a lot.

How often do people even encounter this issue? I have been using YAML for 5+ years and have never had it before. Further, I use `yamllint` which points this out as a lint issue "truthy value should be one of [false, true]".

Tests can be good. Tests can be bad. - If you are writing a heavy algorithmic code, then write unit tests. - If you are writing glue code joining services, then write integration tests. - Integrating with third-party services means

Wait till they get popular, and then they will abandon this.

And that's why no one can offer this sustainably for $2/month. There is a cost of policing for illegal stuff as well as outright terrible stuff that requires fair bit of effort.

I am getting more and more convinced that CI and CD should be completely separate environments. Compromise of CI should not lead to token leaks related to CD.

Vibe coding to normal programming (including GitHub Copilot) is what social media feeds to RSS feeds. Less structure, less optimal, but requires lower mental energy. So, it is likely to win, just like social media feeds won over RSS feeds.

Class Rect { final int x, y; //Constructor goes here } Rect r1 = new Rect(1,2); Is this not sufficient to create an immutable rectangle that I can pass around safely in a multi-threaded code?
