Good team comunication with a beneficial daily call
Daily calls, especially in the form of short "stand-up" meetings, can be very beneficial for teams and communication, but their effectiveness depends on how they're implemented. Here's a breakdown of the pros and cons: Potential Benefits: Enhanced Communication: Daily calls provide a consistent opportunity for team members to share updates, ask questions, and address concerns.   They can help prevent misunderstandings and ensure everyone is on the same page. Increased Transparency: These meetings promote transparency by giving team members visibility into each other's work and progress.   This can foster a sense of accountability and shared responsibility. Improved Alignment: Daily calls help align individual tasks with overall project goals.   They allow teams to identify and address potential roadblocks early on.   Faster Problem-Solving: By discussing challenges daily, teams can quickly find solutions and minimize delays. Boosted Morale: Regular interaction can strengthen team bonds and create a sense of camaraderie, especially in remote or hybrid work environments.   Increased Accountability: By regularly reporting on progress, team members are more accountable for their tasks.

What is the benefit of UV over pip ?

news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4338...

#Python #Pip
- uv is aware of your dependencies, you can add/remove development dependencies, create group of development dependencies (test, lint, dev, etc) and add or remove those and only those at will. You can add dependencies and optional dependencies for a project as well, think my_app[cli,standard]. You don't need to have different requirements.txt for each case nor do you need to remove things by hand as you'd do in pip, since it doesn't remove deps when you remove a package for example. As a result, you can remove {conda,poetry,...} from your workflows. - uv can install python and a virtualenv for you. Any command you run with `uv run` from the root of a repo will be aware of its environment, you don't even need to activate a virtualenv anymore. This replaces {pyenv, pyenv-virtualenv, virtualenvwrapper,...}. - uv follows the PEPs for project config (dependencies, optional dependencies, tool configs) in the pyproject.toml so in case uv dies, it's possible to migrate away for the features are defined in the PEPs. Which is not the case for say, poetry. - uv has a lock file and it's possible to make deps platform specific (Windows, Linux, MacOS, etc). This is in compliance with a PEP but not supported by all tools. - uv supports custom indexes for packages so you can prefer a certain index, for example your company package index or pytorch's own index (for ML work). - very fast, makes local dev very seamless and is really helpful in CI/CD where you might just setup and tear down python envs a lot.
