I tweet about AWS, Python, and tech stuff. Creator of AWS Chalice. Formerly worked on boto3/botocore and the AWS CLI. jamesls on GitHub. Opinions my own.

Tomorrow will be my last day on the AWS CLI/Python SDK team. I've enjoyed working on these products over the past 7+ years, and I'm excited for what's next. I will now be focusing on AWS Chalice and other high level frameworks. Bye Seattle!

Does this code type check successfully?

[James Saryerwinnie @jsaryer]

Ah, editor using an older version of pyright! Both are type errors in latest version.

[James Saryerwinnie @jsaryer]

Making sure I've got this right, f['bar'] isn't a type check error...as long as you acknowledge the KeyError??

Recently updated fzf and had to rework my config to get it working with the AWS CLI again. Such a time server for me. Wrote up my notes for how you can set this up.

Missing typescript's "keyof T" in Python, I still don't see a great alternative for this type of pattern.

[James Saryerwinnie @jsaryer]

After a (not so brief) hiatus on other projects, I’m back focusing on SDKs/devtools. Excited to dive back into this space!

Came across ast-grep today, interesting project and could replace some old/slow code in a few of my projects https://t.co/pJsElbsv5g

[James Saryerwinnie @jsaryer]

Got lost in the nextjs docs but was able to get through the Astro blog tutorial. Really impressed with Astro so far, well written tutorial!

lol most of my feed is react drama, and whatever rsc and meta framework means. I’m guessing I’ll have to relearn react (again)

What’s up Twitter how’s everyone been the past year?? Or I guess it’s called X now.

[James Saryerwinnie @jsaryer]

Tonight’s struggle.

[James Saryerwinnie @jsaryer]

Whoa I have access to github copilot (the OG one). Guess I'll be trying it out tonight. GPT4 has been pretty decent at generating code, but given the heavy throttling, I've only been using it for detailed, lengthy code snippets.

[James Saryerwinnie @jsaryer]

Pro: Accurately models a lot of customer service interactions I've had in the past.

[James Saryerwinnie @jsaryer]

Pros: The markdown for syntax highlighting python code is correct.

[James Saryerwinnie @jsaryer]

I wonder how generally applicable the bug detailed in the recent ChatGPT outage is to async libraries in Python (https://t.co/88ZiWEt7oX).

[James Saryerwinnie @jsaryer]

While this was deploying only one out of every four pushes was failing for me with the known host error, thought I was going crazy...

[GitHub @github]

At approximately 05:00 UTC on March 24, out of an abundance of caution, we replaced our RSA SSH host key used to secure Git operations for https://t.co/VDZYKUklba. Read more here: https://t.co/93xAO99mLr

[James Saryerwinnie @jsaryer]

Well I guess I should start learning more about LLMs.

[James Saryerwinnie @jsaryer]

We now have a formal proposal to add let expression to JMESPath. Feedback welcome! https://t.co/DwVqatjfdN

[James Saryerwinnie @jsaryer]

I love this. I've had to maintain my own color scheme for years because many schemes weren't usable for me. Really appreciate themes that have these settings. https://t.co/9ZxuYqCLwK
