As you get better with the pattern, you can do much more while maintaining the quality.
Re:Why Today's Python Developers Are Embracing Type Hints on Sunday September 28, 2025 @04:54AM (#45402826)
Are there really productive projects which rely on types as a proofing system? I've always thought it added too much complexity to the code, but I'd love to see it working well somewhere. I love the idea of correctness by design.

This feels like less of a win for the customers though. They're paying money and exposing their data insecurely, all for a product that maybe does what it's trying to do.

Re:The uv build back end is now stable on Thursday July 03, 2025 @09:41AM (#44454977)
Good thing to highlight. I'm not sure I'd bet on the game plan, but uv is an incredibly useful tool which I also wouldn't have bet on. Hopefully Simonw is right, and Astral can maintain as is.
