Sorry if you didn’t manage to get into the room for @lais_bsc ‘s talk at because it is packed, you should catch up with the video later! It is great!

@cheukting_ho Please post a nudge when this comes up. Topic seems compelling.

Nostalgia makes us valorize the past. And yes, Pythonland was joyful and fulfilling in "the old days."

But after last week, I'm convinced…it's even better now.

@webology I also wonder what we can do -- primarily, unified storytelling.

I've been thinking about the enshitification of the web: Google search results, AI stealing content, Twitter collapse. Python has a vibrant slice of the web and there's now a back-to-web movement. How can we help Python and help the web?

Lots of folks (like you) doing storytelling. Could we stitch it all together? Amplify the deserving? Raise technical standards (robots.txt against crawlers)? Spread the joy?

@webology Planet Python is an example starting point. Needs people. Might need a bigger vision.

@pauleveritt@fosstodon.org avatar

@webology Ha! I knew you would say that. I was also thinking that on the treadmill this morning. In the very early days, Python had a community-hosting site called Starship. Free space for the good folks.

Count me in.

I think we need humans as much as software, so I'm still interested in curation and storytellers.

@calum @webology There's a good chance we're all talking about something similar, but pretty different. 😉

Would love to have you and your skills involved in whatever happens.

Give these videos a try! @HelenJoScott put in the extra fine-touch work to teach these pytest topics in an easy way.

@cheukting_ho @t_redactyl Sunday night: saying bye to Jodie, thinking "whew, glad I’m not getting on a plane tomorrow direct to next conference.”

Today: sad I wasn't there to see Jodie.

@sabderemane @kjaymiller It was powerful stuff. Yep, I confess, my eyes got watery.

I've been thinking about Python static site generators (SSGs) lately. Well, for the last 3+ years. What are your thoughts on where Python is at? Are we competitive? Does it matter?

Lots of innovation on this in JavaScript. E.g. performance… @eleventy had a conference last week (I spoke) and here's some numbers.

It's notable that almost every other Django book out there doesn't touch deployment at all. Makes me wonder if I should stop trying to cover it and just move it to a more advanced thing that is separate. Especially now that there isn't a great free option, it's a non-starter for many people apparently based on feedback I've gotten.

pauleveritt,
@pauleveritt@fosstodon.org avatar

@wsvincent I'm desperate to convince people to use testing first, combined with always running under the debugger.

I sometimes wonder if we need to frame testing differently. Come up with a DX that is just better and easier, that implicitly accumulates testing.

I'm in the PyCharm booth at PyCon this week. Come by and say hi! I'm also doing video interviews with PyCharm users…if you're up for it, share your story.

Here's some stuff we're doing … yeh, @t_redactyl is busy busy. https://blog.jetbrains.com/pycharm/2024/05/pycharm-at-pycon-us-2024/

Eleventy is an act of rebellion against the dark forces driving today’s internet, said its creator @zachleat at . Also at the lively event, we discovered that @eleventy does scale! https://thenewstack.io/static-sites-do-scale-eleventy-vs-next-js-at-11ty-event/

@ricmac Thanks for the synopsis of my talk and thanks for the point you made at the end. It's how I feel too. Let's put the web back in the web. Vive la résistance indeed.

@tonybaloney A question about subinterpreters. Let's say you import your app in a subinterpreter. Then detect the app source changed, throw away the interpreter, make a new one, and import.

Meaning, a half-step to hot reloading. Would that work? Or is some import state still in parent interpreter?

pauleveritt,
@pauleveritt@fosstodon.org avatar

@carlton You betcha. PEP 554 says: "Conceivably we could invent a mechanism by which any (or every) module could be reset, unlike reload() which does not clear the module before loading into it.”

But that's under “Deferred”. As is “Resetting an interpreter's state.” PEP 734 doesn't mention it.

pauleveritt,
@pauleveritt@fosstodon.org avatar

@carlton We'd have to think of it as tepid reloading. Maybe warm. 😇 No time travel state, for example.

I can't help but think that the arrival of nogil, subinterpreters, and maybe even JIT stuff, is going to launch a new web framework that's designed around all that.

pauleveritt,
@pauleveritt@fosstodon.org avatar

@carlton Hopefully one is a perennial. 🤞

pauleveritt,
@pauleveritt@fosstodon.org avatar

@tonybaloney @carlton Oh I'm just getting started. Have I asked you about setting debugger breakpoints in subinterpreter code? 😈

You doing anything for sprints?

pauleveritt,
@pauleveritt@fosstodon.org avatar

@tonybaloney @carlton Wow! I’m...sorry....in an excited kind of way. Can't wait to talk to you about what you learned and whether the idea is worth trying.

Very happy to be speaking today at “The 11ty International Symposium on Making Websites Real Good on the IndieWeb”. Free and virtual. I'm covering adding tooling to do bigger projects: TS, TSX, Vitest.

I'll also show what we do for JSON Schema and autocomplete in frontmatter for authoring experience.

At long last, my tutorial on @eleventy and TS/TSX/Vitest, component-driven development, and the like. Video https://youtu.be/Jwf5F3tZX4k?si=RCpnO--B4GPQ9WL5 and tutorial https://www.jetbrains.com/guide/javascript/tutorials/eleventy-tsx/

I'm speaking about developing @eleventy sites with components. Props to @privatenumber for the fabulous tsx project which powers what we're doing. https://github.com/privatenumber/tsx

This might be weird to say, but Zed is pretty slow to start up the first time.
