Air 0.43 has dropped, which uses FastAPI 0.125.0 or higher. FastAPI is finally off supporting Python 3.8 and Pydantic v1! In theory this shouldn't affect anything, but edge cases may appear. If something breaks, we'll make fixing bugs caused by this update our priority. ☁️

In converting Two Scoops of Django's LaTeX to Markdown, Gemini sometimes uses stolen copies as citations. I keep having to tell it to stop using citations, only rely on the sources I provide.
That's to help ensure that the LLM isn't adding slop, just converting formats.

Somehow I got out of the habit of posting TILs. Here's me getting back into the habit: daniel.feldroy.com/posts/til-20...
TIL: Default code block languages for mkdocs
Really useful for making inline code examples have code highlighting.

In Japan scheduled parent and kid classes are a big thing. That includes martial arts. Hence, today my daughter Uma and I will take our very first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class together!

Isn't there a reason why you can't just configure the Django ORM to work inside a FastAPI project? I used to do it on toy apps but for some reason I can't remember didn't do it on anything with substantial traffic.

This release was a lot of fun effort, and is a display of the rapidly growing Air community. The .htmx object implementation was inspired by @adamj.eu's incredible work on django-htmx.
I am now 0.36.0 releases old! A few of my changes include:
- Adding a .htmx object to every request
- Dropping support for 3.12 (We already support Python 3.14)
- More documentation!
