ruff has been a fantastic discovery for me, along with pre-commit, commitizen, and flit. In about the length of a weekend I was able to find a reasonable group of settings for my pyproject.toml and roll that out to many of my projects. The

Hah. beat me to it. I knew someone else would be weird enough to mention this guy. A very interesting guy. I recall he has gone dumpster diving behind libraries to save information that has not been digitized.

You can send voice memos in chat. I use it when I'm on the move. It is in beta, but I think they also have video uploading, which probably means recording audio and video.

Websites like this talk to my heart. Strong early 2000s vibes of nerds just putting it out there. Love this, thank you!

Why not talk to a few executive headhunters? They can sometimes chart career paths or pivots that you might not have seen or thought about. The good ones have their finger on the pulse of things and could offer some insights.

I sometimes have an iPad next to my MacBook when working. I laugh at myself when I start swiping on the MacBook with my Apple Pencil. Not sure if that means anything but that is my experience :-)

Sounds like you might want an SRE lead / Platform owner. in my experience it is still too early in the game to thin slice roles like this. It makes sense to have broad buckets like: - mobile (ios, android) - frontend / backe
