it is absolutely wild to me that free-threaded python is stable, production-worthy
they straight-up dropped the GIL. Python used to be not actually multi-threaded, now it is
No mayhem. Just threads.

i feel like DSPy is beginning to occupy the Haskell tier
everyone: "DSPy is great, all LLM programming should be done like this"

my programming language hot take is that python-inspired languages shouldn't be named after snakes (eg cobra/boa/serp*nt).
Python is named after Monty Python. Python-inspired programming langues should be named after British sketch comedy shows, damn it!

Nothing is truly 'private' in #Python 😅

I really recommend "AI Engineering" by Chip Huyen. It is so well researched, so thorough, and so helpful. Plus, you do *not* have to be an ML engineer to understand her technical explanations, they're written at the perfect level.

You need to practice.
But where are there good practice problems?
I've collected the ones I know about at practiceyourpython.com . (And yes, I included my own courses and books.)
Know of any others? Let me know; I'll gladly add them!

And we're off!
I just signed with @manningbooks.bsky.social for the 2nd edition of #Python Workout (pythonworkout.com), my book with 200 exercises to improve your Python fluency.
It'll be more update than overhaul, fixing bugs and modernizing things to help you more than ever.
I'm excited!
