Enjoying seeing people setup Mastodon accounts and filling up the timeline. My account is rrees@mastodon.social

My hobby projects are the ultimate MVP I'm shocked at how many features I have that are just stubbed out or don't work the way I think they do despite using these things weekly.

@james_barton The other big difference now is that I probably wouldn't try to run intense workloads on a work machine but would probably get a disposable Cloud machine and run it there. That was possible in 2010 but is now trivial in most organisations.

@james_barton Since I wrote that I haven't really had a problem with work-related Python since probably release 3.2. The performance bottlenecks have been on parallelism and network wait. Rust does seem to be the most popular Python extension language after C but I haven't done any of that.

A few belated notes from PyConUK 2022 rrees.me/2022/10/27/pyc…

Re-electing your corrupt and dishonest ex-leader shouldn't be a credible answer to a crisis in democracy. Doing it because you fear you might lose your seat is despicable.

@kornys Most organisations don't have that level of trust between the developers and don't invest time in creating. Many organisations have leaders who have explicitly hired people they don't trust often because they are "cheap". Non-blocking review is top drawer stuff, not the default.

Talking to devs outside my work bubble, it seems like everyone assumes that it's normal and neccessary to have a blocking Pull Request process. I'd prefer non-blocking reviews and/or pairing, and a basic trust that devs won't write terrible code if unchecked. Is this so strange?

Endless screaming

I've started working on my migration off of Heroku onto some of the alternatives. First up, Fly; some notes on the initial experience. dev.to/rrees/deployin…

I quite like the UI for Amazon Photos, I don't think I've ever said that about an Amazon product before

@ryangreenhall Was that at university or in work? Curious about what it was if the latter.

@rrees You got it 😃

My first IDE Can you name the language?

@james_barton So maybe these talks should just be about explaining parts of numpy that people are embarrassed to admit they don't understand.

@james_barton In my experience it's the other way round people can't write a line of code before a dataframe is being used

Every talk I've been too about improving performance in Python data science seems to be "use a C extension"

@GidsG I'm around till Sunday morning. I was planning an early night tonight (after last night) but I'll try and catch up with you

@rrees are you around for the rest of the conference? Let me know if you wanted to meet for dinner this evening?

@d6y I also have Railway

Most of the guides to switching services from Heroku to something else completely fail to deal with how to switch databases over without spending a fortune. Render is maybe the best on this.
