For those who attended my conference talk at #nordevcon25 I mentioned a CICD process I go through using uv. I blogged about it here: open.substack.com/pub/benaskew...

Hey Gemini!.. I don't need you summarising emails, writing or finishing them, or your constant prompts
I tell you what you can do for me...
Tell me when I've forgotten a fecking attachment. It's 2025 and I still have to utter the word "attachment" exactly before you'll warn me!
