Code review is rarely done live. It's usually asynchronous, giving the reviewer plenty of time to read, digest, and give considered feedback on the changes. Perhaps a spicy patch would involve some kind of meeting. Or maybe in a ment

My kid got a copy of your first book as a gift a couple years ago. It's really fun to have on the shelf. The buttons are so satisfyingly clicky. Thanks!

I write a decent amount of Python, but find the walrus operator unintuitive. It's a little funky that API_KEY is available outside of the `if`, perhaps because I had first seen the walrus operator in golang, which restricts the scope

I've read a few books from Hesse, including The Glass Bead Game, and found the English translations rather readable. His more commonly recommended books, Siddhartha and Steppenwolf, should be fine for any high school level reader.
