@ugentcrr Hi, Thanks for your vocabulary testing! I notice that your vocabulary test now has an issue: Starting the test for the second time always gives the same set of vocabulary, but it wasn't so in the past. Thanks!

. @gitlab is a great example in finding a way to make money from their FOSS project, rather than seeing "open source" and "commercality" as conflicting concepts. This is also one of the non-technical aspect that I emphasized for open-source projects: topbug.net/blog/2018/10/2…

I would say, any serious open source projects should be built like a business, with a business model that supports and takes advantages of the nature of open source. topbug.net/blog/2018/10/2…

@treyhunner @AutomationPanda @PythonMorsels Do you have some kind of progress loss mechanism like decreasing a student's credit for having not studied for a while? 😈

@AutomationPanda @PythonMorsels Good point. There is a pause feature, but if folks decide they actually don't ever want to commit to weekly learning there might be a problem.

Pondering whether I should do a Black Friday sale for @PythonMorsels. I'm hesitant because I'm not a fan of consumerism. But, such a sale might inspire a larger subset of folks to get in the habit of regular Python practice. What are your thoughts on sales like this?
