Yesterday, myself and many new friends had a full day getting familiar with Python starting with getting our VS Code dev environment setup, then learning about the language, popular libraries, OOP, Jupyter, web apps with Flask and FastAPI, .NET integration with CSnakes, and more.
Visual Studio Live!@VSLive

@EricDBoyd⁩ is taking us on an expedition into the world of #Python #AI and ML. We’re still hard-charging at Hands-on lab day at #VSLive.

@mkristensen And furthermore, even if we suggest agents are writing all of it, everyone might have different agents and tools, so having conventions and code formatting guidelines is still important.

@mkristensen Agents might be writing a lot of it, but humans are reviewing and editing it, so it's still important for code to be readable and maintainable.

I've hated WordPress for a while, and in recent years I've become a fan of the simplicity of Astro, thanks to @Joey_Farruggio. And I know there are tradeoffs. But Astro seems to have even more of a future after today's CloudFlare announcement. blog.cloudflare.com/astro-joins-cl…

@nitesh_backdev @VisualStudio I took it back to the beginning and told some stories about the early days, but there are many more that could've been told and more experience and insights that just didn't fit into 60 minutes. :)
