We believe healthcare is a right for every American.

But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.

Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

I was inspired to write about it. There are some really cool but I think understated possibilities that the team built to support with the registry.

We started building this course before we knew about the documentary, so an odd little coincidence. Want to know the history of #Python and its people? Watch the doc. Want to learn about when which features got added? Watch this code conversation with @digiglean.bsky.social
