Learned about Mynt, another static site generator from an aside during #PyDX. Time to rebuild my site again?

My disposable coffee cup is a little too disposable. Starting to fall apart. Drink fast!

oh yeah the conf-indifferent may want to mute me this weekend.

Then an offhand Perl reference, as most are at non-Perl events.

“There’s a lot of backend chauvinism in a lot of developer communities” - @ameliaabreu #PyDX
No that’s - wait yes that’s completely right.

Half of the Nielsen usability tips summarized by @ameliaabreu have me glaring at git. #PyDX
Okay all of them. I hate git.

Oy it’s an “oops I forgot my meds this morning” day. Not a huge deal, but looks like I haven’t finished building the habit.

Noticing that my eyes do not enjoy white text on light-to-moderate gray background. Gonna stare at my screen instead.

Need more no-crowd recharge time. Gonna pace and/or knit until the Flask talk.
Twitter: 2015-10-10 Sat 14:19
Also I’m not used to wearing shoes this long. Too dangerous to remove them now.

Ok @miguelgrinberg about to start talking Flask. #PyDX. So excite.
Twitter: 2015-10-10 Sat 14:58
On “Is it truly RESTful?”: REST was designed to be highly scalable, but most applications don’t need all of it. @miguelgrinberg #PyDX
Twitter: 2015-10-10 Sat 15:02
REST representations don’t need to match resources to the dot. Camera API can’t send a camera to the user. @miguelgrinberg #PyDX
Twitter: 2015-10-10 Sat 15:09
“I’m building an analogy here. I hope you get that.” @miguelgrinberg on Millenium Django vs Flask Tub. #PyDX
Twitter: 2015-10-10 Sat 15:14
Flask + common libraries handle first 90% of a REST API. Other 90% (from filtering to WTF) is on you. @miguelgrinberg #PyDX
Twitter: 2015-10-10 Sat 15:19
One bit of niftiness: creating decorators to clarify usage and intent of your Flask app functions. @miguelgrinberg #PyDX
Twitter: 2015-10-10 Sat 15:24
Most REST frameworks don’t implement full REST. Writing your own may be better. “I just use what makes me happy.” @miguelgrinberg #PyDX

Dammit Google I haven’t moved to Portland. I’m just here for the weekend. Stop regionalizing so many of my searches.

It is disrespectful to humans to not allow them to enter their own names. @wiredferret on localization #pydx

Borrow your neighbor’s glasses, or take your own off. Can you still read the screen? @wiredferret on viewability.
Twitter: 2015-10-10 Sat 17:02
What makes you think this API you’re working on is always going to be internal? @wiredferret encouraging extensibility #pydx
More legos!
Twitter: 2015-10-10 Sat 17:03
You need public documentation & it has to be more useful than StackOverflow. Helps w/purchase decisions, too. @wiredferret #pydx
Twitter: 2015-10-10 Sat 17:04
Documentation is not a state secret … please stop locking it up. @wiredferret #pydx
Twitter: 2015-10-10 Sat 17:07
People do not care about user guide, or api. They care about whether upgrading will break their stuff. @wiredferret on release notes #pydx
Twitter: 2015-10-10 Sat 17:10
Don’t get in people’s way - making stuff easy for you instead of user. @wiredferret on affordances #PyDX

You will never be able to fix it later. @wiredferret speaking the gospel truth about kludgy features #PyDX
Twitter: 2015-10-10 Sat 17:12
Get some intended users (not intended buyers). Ask them to do the thing. Shut up and watch. Take notes. @wiredferret #PyDX

This may shock you but not everyone has broadband. Pls don’t send autoplay video etc. @wiredferret #PyDX

Limiting your user pool is a tendency you should fight against. @wiredferret on accessibility #PyDX

“We are all only temporarily able bodied” TAB “Isn’t future you worth fighting for?” @wiredferret on accessibility #PyDX
Twitter: 2015-10-10 Sat 17:19
So, yeah. If you have a chance to see @wiredferret speak, I highly recommend you do so. #PyDX

The talker tweetstorm portion of my Saturday #PyDX is over. I’m sorry but not really because there’s still tomorrow.
