People are...
- Painting with #Python
- Designing 3D objects and ceramics with Python
- Composing music with Python
- Making creative data visualizations with Python
- Creating interactive art with python
- Designing games and AR with Python
- Using Python in textile arts
- Even using traditional art media & techniques to create art *about* python
Heck, Python has been involved in art since 360-320 BCE!

I initially wanted to join the Air Force to be a pilot, but my vision is pretty awful. So in the face of their rejection, I said "fine, I'll join the Marines, then!" 😆

But this is the most polished, lovely thing I've created 😍

Only a couple more hyper-focused hours away from sharing my stupidly-overdone-demo (oh, and the #Django package it demonstrates 😆 )

Okay, now the song is on repeat in my head, and I'm slowly moving toward your position on the matter 😆

I dunno. I nod my head in agreement with you on so much, but I dont hate this one. At least it breaks up the monotony of songs that drone on with overly-sentimental church music vibes. A little variety in a world where all Christmas songs strive to be the same. 😄

🤣🤣🤣 She will husky-yell at me and/or cry all night if we don't get at least 5 miles in each day lol
I'm telling you, getting a dog has been the best thing I've done for my health in YEARS. She forces me to get moving.

Yes, picture 40-something me running full-speed through fields of knee-high grass at 10pm because it absolutely delights my pup 😆
Some folks say not to anthropomorphize pets, and that they don't actually smile.
Those people have obviously (and sadly) never run headlong for a quarter-mile through a moonlit field with a husky. Her pride and her joy are unmistakable.

Let's look at a more detailed example!
Your #Django B2B app provides tools to help each tenant's employees manage their departmental budgets.
As part of this, in one form, employees can upload financial statements and they must specify the type of statement.

Here's a Django package I've been working on for a couple of years now. I find it super handy for B2B & B2B2C SaaS apps, but it's maybe a bit niche outside of those.
https://django-tenant-options.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
Why might you want to try it out?
Imagine you are building a B2B SaaS app, and there are forms used by your tenants for CRUD - either to their customers or for internal employees...

I *always* overpack. And then I always wonder why I needed 15 pairs of shorts.
And doubly so this time because I'm coming directly from a month of working on the other side of the country 😅

(I use FBV almost exclusively where I can, but I get the appeal of CBV, too)
I want one of those "Stop doing Math" memes for CBVs 😆

If that's not the best description of the whole software dev experience, I don't know what is! 🤣

Working away from home the past couple weeks, so my routines and guardrails are completely absent. I get back to the hotel after [dayjob], start working on something, and it's 2am just like that.
Currently running an (undesired) experiment to see how many days in a row I can operate on 3-4 hours sleep before reality unravels.
On about day 6 now.
#ADHD is the most ridiculous thing 🤡

Is this unique to python packaging?

2024-08-26 06:17:53 UTC

I've been working on a thing for a few weeks, and I'm hoping there are #Language / #FileFormat / #Markdown nerds and experts on Mastodon who can provide some input and sanity-check.
I looked for an existing markdown extension file format that would allow me to write a document in multiple languages, and I couldn't find anything that fit the bill.
So, I decided to create my own. 🤷‍♂️

I'll have to try the emoji thing!
I sometimes get into avoidance loops where I stress myself out over not having completed some (typically trivial) task, and it may take weeks or months to do the thing (reply to a text, drop by pist office, etc) - all the while I'm thinking about it constantly. And then I feel so foolishness after completing what should have been effortless.
Maybe highlighting & scheduling the thing will make it more manageable. Can't hurt to try.
Thanks, Jeff.

I think thats the biggest thing: my todo list is 400 checkboxes and they all *feel* important 😆
Seriously, though, the list I have pinned in Obsidian right has 72 checkboxes of things needing done for the business I run. But few of those checkboxes are about the *business* side of owning a business 😬
And that's just for my business, and doesn't include todo for work I am doing for my other career (which is maintained in OneNote on work laptop to keep them separated).
I'm a mess 🤷‍♂️😆

The thing about #ADHD is that I have ~50 #Projects in various stages of progress going at any time.
I've gotten really good at ensuring I can get back into a project even after a haitius.
But I am incredibly bad at prioritizing 😣
And because there's 50 projects to pick from, it's super easy to pick one that 1) I haven't worked on in a while so it feels novel, or 2) One that brings joy in the moment, but prevents more important work getting done.
Anyone have tips for better #Prioritization?
