I’m gonna use this tool because as long as I’m smart with it I’m less likely to injure myself than not using any tool at all.

My accident-prone nature — I’m poetry in motion just sometimes it’s slam poetry night at the temple — is why when someone asked “are your sandwiches vegan?” a coworker responded “not the way he makes them they aren’t.”

Cleared some space on the desk for my notebook.

The cats really appreciate it.

Is there a preferred pypi naming convention for workflow packages?

A collection of dependencies and code in place to make a person or team’s life easier & only maybe useful to others. Perl has Task::*, and npm seems fond of “preset”.

Wondering if there’s that for #python.

Django queries with Funcs doing similar work. Much code.

Replace w/ a function parameterizing the Func, use as needed. Less code.

Makes sense(?) Tests pass. Looks weird.

Another layer of abstraction: the cause of, and solution to, most software architecture problems

BTW if you don’t name your next nerdcore album “Parameterizing the Func” I will be disappointed.

continuing to prefer NamedTuple to namedtuple because of how often my throwaway immutable object types end up needing some kind of logic to describe their unchanging state.
