Like others mentioned, I like the framing of treating Claude Code as a tool (and I had to remind myself of it constantly). Like any tool, it takes effort to master and configure. B…

I left tmux for zellij after several unsuccessful attempts to get Shift+Enter working. Was quite impressed initially and invested weeks in building new muscle memory, but somehow Z…

Building Smello ( https://github.com/smelloscope/smello ), a Python library and a local server that capture your outgoing HTTP requests to help you debug API integrations. The idea…

The standard for type hints in Python is lengthy and detailed PEP-484. PEP-483 is 2x shorter and builds the foundation for this work. It summarizes the typing theory and outlines i…
