I just migrated the docs for Asyncer from Material for MkDocs to @zensical.org ✨
I was expecting a challenge, I was disappointed, it was too easy. 😂
Install and run, that's it. All the configs unchanged, even the CLI preserves the exact same commands. ☕️

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

As we near a traditional 2 week PTO period, if you are planning on working, remember to
- assigning lots of issues
- cc lots of people
- change lots of common code
- comment on lots of code reviews
Essentially, let everyone know they were missed by filling up their inbox for when they return 😈

I’ll take simple API + complex implementation over the opposite any day, but it doesn’t make me happy when I have to deliver such.

Got wily v2 down to 5 seconds at 20-25 commits/sec to analyze the last 100 commits of django. That's 200x faster than the old wily (which was slow I admit).
Django has 35,000 commits spanning 10+ years so you can guess which benchmark I'm chasing. There are way too many idle CPU cores 🤔 faster!!

For comparison, how much do they spend for tips on expensed meals?
The PSF runs PyPI, where pip installs from. You depend on PyPI.
