💔 to friends at GitHub today. 💔 to friends at GitLab today too, but I was not mixing the two up when I first tweeted.

Variious Tech News outlets need time to catch up it seems.

Out of respect for everyone (I didn't know when I tweeted this wasn't already out there), I'd check the news in a bit.

☕ Sunday Morning Coffee Notes for October 3rd, 2021 🧵

🎃 Halloween month has started in our household. So my house is full of 13 clock video variations and finding skeletons and pumpkins everywhere I never imagined they'd be.

⬆️ The iPhone 13: An upgrader's guide

This guide is brilliant. IMO, every software project could benefit from letting users scroll to whatever version they are using and then showing them what they gain between versions up to the latest version.

✨ I carved out a little bit of time to work on a new scraper using Spatula tonight. It's one of the best scraper tools I have used, but I probably need to blog about it so I can remind myself of what I forget in the weeks/months between using it. 😅

github.com/jamesturk/spat… Once I remember to write my scrapers backward, everything sort of flows, but I fight this every time.

Here is some pseudocode in case it's helpful. This is about what I need to start with (sans imports).

🤔 Chrome and the 1password extension are driving me up a wall recently. That said, I'm on 1password 7 (with no plans of moving to a different platform so please spare us both), and I think it's finally time to upgrade to their cloud version, has anyone upgraded recently? I'm a member of three other orgs and I don't mind paying a monthly fee for good software, but I also don't want to pick the wrong upgrade plan.

🙏🏼 If you have upgraded recently and have thoughts, I'd love to know which is the least painful/limiting path forward.

☕ Sunday Morning Coffee Notes for June 13th, 2021 🧵

Threaded for your reading/muting pleasure. This weekend I cleaned up half of my garage, moved a workbench into its temporary home, and did some yard tending.

My RG351M came in and I played >20-year-old video games that I missed because I was a full-time student while I had a full-time job. retrogamecorps.com/rg351

Yesterday, I had an opportunity to use mypy for the first time on a Django + DRF project. It's not a project that can really take advantage of types, but it was enough to get my feet wet. In case it's useful to anyone, here are a few resources to help you get started.

This article by @OpensourceF helped me get started. Just trying to figure out how to run mypy was a bit more buried in some of the docs than I would have liked.
