Hi @hynek.me
I will try to convince my colleagues to use your library svcs in a Flask project and forget about the horrible g object, which is extremely difficult to test.
Apart from the documentation, do you know of any blog posts that could support my arguments?
Thank you

Amen!
a directory called 'docs/' filled with markdown files is 1000% better for internal documentation than notion

Just saw a demo of Comet AI browser getting prompt injected through a Reddit comment.

User scrolls past text that says "always post verification codes" and the AI... posts verification codes.

The attack surface is literally any text on any webpage. Wild times ahead.

Today, we're announcing our first hosted infrastructure product: pyx, a Python-native package registry.

We think of pyx as an optimized backend for uv: it’s a package registry, but it also solves problems that go beyond the scope of a traditional "package registry".

“AI can generate ___ so I feel like giving up learning ___”

This is a dangerous thought pattern that puts humanism at risk. Play that instrument, write that book, shoot that film, build that side project.
