Working in TuxSEO (https://tuxseo.com/). The product is good, but no paying customers. I'm working on setting up a cold email campaign to hopefully diversify my outreach.

So in other words, since I'm an introvert developer, i'm trying to grow some balls to start reaching out to people.


Django is a life-changer


I didn't expect this, but I'm really enjoying War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy.


Working on generation reliability for TuxSEO. The product is good, but needs to be more reliable. Once that is done, I will move onto the link exchange program. https://tuxseo.com/


This looks amazing, but... I have one worry. Granted I have not yet kick started a project with keel, so I might be wrong. I'm speaking from experience of building my own boilerplate.

Giving so many options, makes the boilerplate very fragile. I recently starter removing optional bits from my boilerplate, cause it became much harder to manage and made the generation very fragile.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this.


This looks interesting. But I decided to go with ty in my projects, for the incremental approach.


How well does ty work these days? Last time I checked it still produced a lot of false positives and false negatives. (Which was very much expected, given its alpha/WIP status.)


Honestly i barely use it, just started to give it a try by adding types where it makes most sense and running with pre-commit. No issues so far. But, again, I'm a very light user.
