Started a #python channel in work slack. My first message was a link to calmcode.io. My second was tips on starting a programmer bar fight (best editor, tabs vs spaces, python version management).
It’s good to satisfy a range of tastes.

Got a can of cold coffee.
Directions say to shake gently once, pop open and enjoy.
I gently shake once, pop open. Half its contents spray me and the floor before I can enjoy.
I’m glad we’ve got the resources to hire lawncare folks and I really appreciate the work they do but I wish they’d let us know ahead of time so I’m not in the middle of a meeting with someone giving me a data science deep dive then suddenly LAWNMOWER GO BRBRBRBRB
Almost got a new Mac a couple weeks back. Instead I went for the ludicrously wide monitor and a 2TB SSD for my desktop. Roughly half what I would’ve spent.
Not saying it’s an inherently better choice, but it’s been a good fit for me.

Random idea last night of using Hugo as the previewer for Dendron and it very nearly works!
Sometimes you wake up at 4am and around 4:30 you admit you’re not getting back to sleep.

Went back to the original code and had it write intermediate values to disk to help with test fixtures and assertions.
I should probably talk to my therapist about this at our next session.

@technoid_ Yeah I don’t let myself try anything genuinely useful / productive / social before 7am regardless of when I wake up. I’ve made that mistake before.
Just created, watched approvals, and merged a PR in VS Code via Github Pull Requests and Issues, and that was nice too.
I mean sure basically “open a VS Code tab” instead of “open a browser tab” but it matched my editor theme which I appreciate.

Tested and confirmed that my funky little neovim-rst-plugin approach to reStructuredText in Hugo works just fine in Zola, as long as you configure it to accept raw HTML in “markdown” files.
Pandera is exactly the sort of super-fussy data validation framework you’d think would be right up my alley, but I need to get the hang of things before I start telling coworkers to use it.
