LLMs are allowing me to create so many little single purpose, heavily customized for my situation(s), and how my brain works that I'm going to have to create some sort of catalog or I'm going to forget about a few of them!

Do I (or anyone I know) know someone on the Meta Threads team or could put me in contact with someone? Curious to get some Django feedback on their experiences at scale and to just generally nerd out with them.

When we said democracy was on the ballot we weren't lying.
Trump on ending the filibuster: "If we do it, we will never lose the midterms and we will never lose a general election ... it would be impossible to lose an election."

The most successful people I know aren't the busiest. They're the most protected. They have an almost ruthless ability to say "no" to things that don't align with their true goals. You don't need a better to-do list. You need a better "what-not-to-do" list.

Forget about supporting the PSF, too abstract.
Pip installs from PyPI. It would be bad if `pip install` stopped working. Support the org that runs PyPI.
Surprise, it's the PSF! Your company depends on #Python. You want it to keep working and keep being good.

One of the best side effects of me being into food and getting a dream kitchen is how the rest of the family has responded. Came home to wife and oldest making dinner and laughing. What are they making? Lobster pasta they’ve been slowly making the sauce for hours. On a Tuesday…
