My book is finally available worldwide. Please have a look at https://t.co/6DwU2Ufj9P

If you want to learn Python and have never programmed before (or tried and quit), it is a good option to learn the basics and other features of Python.

I recommend the hardcover version, but it is also available in paperback and Kindle ebook. Same contents, different formats.

o que irrita são coisas básicas que não funcionam… como o file explorer. Se voce tem um hd pra backup, o file explorer sempre vai lá, sem motivo. Um click direito e seu disco queima, ele procura toda a noia registrada no COM, sabe-se lá quantas vezes. Um erro no explorer e a taskbar morre. As vezes, ela restarta na surdina: trava e depois volta como se nada havia acontecido.
E não melhora, os updates do Windows 11 pioraram muito este ano.

I get how uncomfortable it feels to disengage from the syntax, from the sequence, selection, and iteration of code, from the dopamine hit of getting a complicated function to execute properly. I get it. I've been coding for longer than most of you have been alive -- I get it.

But the bar has been raised. And if I, someone who has been coding for more than six decades, can clear that bar, you should be able to clear it too.

And fear not, I've found plenty of joy on the topside of that bar. It just take a leap...

Imagine telling a surgeon:
“Your 20 years of experience are impressive…
but you couldn’t answer this riddle about scissors, so we’ll pass.”
That’s software interviews.

I am this old

In 1984, I got a Sinclair ZX-81 clone for Xmas, my first micro computer :-) My father and grand father were expecting I would give some rest to their calculators. It was a Brazilian clone called TK-85. Later on I got addicted to the Input magazine with lots of topics and software delivered every week… and adapted to Brazilian computer clones of Spectrum and Apple ][. They did a great translation job, but some images remained with the BBC micro and the commodore 64. The art was incredible. Now, 42 years later, I got my Commodore 64 last Saturday in Belgium. It is amazing how an old computer can bring joy and very good memories playing with friends. Due to Brazilian imports ban in the 80’s and early 90’s, I miss the Commodore 64 and later the Amiga. Moving from Apple ][e clones to Msx clones during high school and Ibm pc clones later on. What a time!

@MuseumCommodore I got mine last Saturday in Belgium.

I got my c64 ultimate delivered today! Very nice product, old and new at the same time. Waiting for my joystick on Monday. The games are so simple. I’m wondering if rewriting them in Python would be fun.

[Nilo Ney Coutinho Menezes @lskbr]

@commodoreofcl Got my C64 Ultimate today. The delivery guy vanished, but I already installed it and everything is fine. It looks amazing and easy to use. The details are incredible... they emulated even the disk drive noise!

Software development has never been about writing code.

This was obvious to many before, but now AI has made it crystal clear to everyone.

Building software is 99% thinking, 1% writing code, and 1% fighting off-by-1 errors.

I've pushed Textual v6.3.0 which now supports Python 3.14

It also drops support for Python3.8 which reached its EOL just over a year ago. So long 3.8. 🫡

[Will McGugan @willmcgugan]

Just pushed Rich v14.2.0

This is mainly a meta update, to support Python 3.14
