in what can only be the most telegraphed heel turn: those who waxed lyrical about return to office, are now extolling the beautiful automated future of talking to chatbots in a call centre

Probably for the best. In the fiction, self-awareness got a bad rap.

Hard to phrase it better.

Simon has been a superb software engineer before LLMs (he created Django and many others.) He’s been using and experimenting with these tools, uses them better than most of us devs and remains a superb software engineer.

Some things don’t change

Photos of pedestrian road crossing buttons from USA, Israel, Switzerland and Germany with text question - what if drivers had to press the button to cross a road junction

Photos of pedestrian road crossing buttons from USA, Israel, Switzerland and Germany with text question - what if drivers had to press the button to cross a road junction

Just while wondering about digital modals and feature buttons, why do pedestrians have to press a button to prove their need? Shouldn’t equitable street use mean drivers need to request to cross too?

I know that’s a silly question but the underlying privilege of car-centric design creates it. 1/2

I presume this code is also in the monorepo. Does that mean that the rough edges get polished anyone at google who gets annoyed enough to take remedial actions that pass the tests?

Your regular reminder that the quality vs. speed "tradeoff" in software delivery is a fiction.

Fair. Your import name pep has more merit.

Or project.dynamic=β€œpath/to/dynamic.toml”, dynamic.toml is git ignored. build backend or a task runner updates that file as appropriate, build backend merges dynamic.toml to pyproject.toml and builds.

Yup.

At risk of triggering you, since you asked: dynamic metadata is specifically bespoke: β€œConsult your build backend’s documentation to learn how it does it.” Maybe one extra key like `project.version_path = β€œpath/to/dynamic.toml”` could be a standard?

@snarky.ca now that pylock is accepted, have you given thought to standardising the frontend implementation of Python build hooks? Current state has no universal implementation. Each tool does it’s own thing which limits portability and perhaps reproducibility.

Cows are dirty animals. The feed mean they all have sloppy bowel movements. Diarrhoea. The cows don’t understand or care about milk quality. The udders are at the poop end of the cow. The cups have a vacuum that sucks material in. Accidents happen.

Universe? Can please we get a fictional drama where Brian Blessed and Matt Berry play a father-son duo doing frankly anything while bellowing at each other and being over-dramatic?

Or GitHub is so dominant for corporate repos not supporting it would make a code review tool unviable.
