In today’s episode of “Spending way to much time and money on a stupid idea”, I proudly present you my PoE-powered can of spam.

Every time I 3D print something, I can’t help thinking this is as close to magic as it gets:

Think up a thing, apply some mediocre 3D modelling skills, wait a bit - and it‘s real

[Daniel Hepper @danielhepper]

@NielsHoven That’s cheating, you are supposed to buy your sugar and salt in little pouches at $2 each.

@ReimarBauer We have an SBOM of our dependencies across all languages with dependency track. But that doesn‘t tell me which of our dependencies used Trivy as part of their CI pipeline, meaning they were potentially compromised. Haven heard of Pixi, since we are not in the Conda ecosystem.

[Daniel Hepper @danielhepper]

Is there a list of packages that used a compromised version of Trivy in their CI? I can check my dependency graph, but I can‘t check the Github workflow history of all our dependencies.

@Callum_McMahon_ @karpathy @simonw PyPI quarantined it in 46 minutes, but that was enough for 47k downloads. 2,337 packages on PyPI depend on litellm. 88% had no version pin. We analyzed that, check if you were exposed: https://t.co/eBh9uojHy4

@RyanHoliday How do you cure „the slows“? Asking for a friend.

New benchmark just dropped:
“Task so boring the AI does it twice” 🫠

@arvidkahl I was quite impressed by Shannon: https://t.co/79zcoO6ujY
It will happily use up half your weekly quota though

@d4m1n We are using @withgraphite Diamond. It catches issues on a regular basis, but there are also many false-positives.

@jasonfried @adamjcolvin Your designers write HTML/CSS, right? Our designers use Figma, frontend devs write React/TS, and backend devs use Python. Without a common workpiece, collaboration between design and frontend is challenging. As a result, designers sometimes don‘t get involved at all.

[Daniel Hepper @danielhepper]

@forgebitz I was thinking in terms of security, but if you think of competition, absolutely.

[Daniel Hepper @danielhepper]

@arvidkahl “experienced open-source developers working on their own repositories” - I’d argue that’s not representative of most software development.

Last day of PyCon DE & PyData 2025 being kicked of by @lvwerra giving a glimpse into the future of AI

[Daniel Hepper @danielhepper]

It’s been a while since my last major tech conference, so I’m very excited to be speaking at PyConDE & PyData 2025 in Darmstadt today!

I’ll be presenting “Conquering the Queue: Lessons from processing one billion Celery tasks” with insights from using Celery at Userlike.

[Daniel Hepper @danielhepper]

Huge shoutout to Stacey from @todoist support for the lightning-fast resolution of my payment issue! Stellar service 🚀 The only way it could’ve been better? If they were using @userlike 😉

[Daniel Hepper @danielhepper]

@GergelyOrosz I agree that 16 GB should be enough, but it really isn’t anymore. Unless you are very disciplined with your open apps (and tabs!), you just have to bite the bullet and upgrade to >32 GB. Our dev machines have been 32 GB for a few years now.

[Daniel Hepper @danielhepper]

On my way home from PyConWeb. Thanks for the team putting together a great event and getting me back on the conference bandwagon. Looking forward to next year!

[PyConWeb @pyconweb]

The wrap-up of our #PyConWeb 2035 full of insights, discussions, coffee, lightning talks and fun. A huge thanks you from our team to each of you who was with us on-site and online 🙌✨

Somehow I managed to get my Facebook account restricted, and now all things Meta keep breaking in random ways, including the account status page in Facebook Business Support.

@CristianRus4 Is it possible to customize the special events in the life view?
