Pictures have a meaning. Some more, some less, and some are like a pillar of your life. For me, such a picture is the cover of the 1985s Salad Days EP by Minor Threat. It was the final EP by this iconic band. I was 15, when I discovered it at a local record store in 1986. Before that, I had never heard anything by this band, even though I was deeply into punk rock music — mostly from Germany and the UK — at this time.
I am frustrated by VSCode lately. I might share the reasons in another post someday. For the moment, I turned to PyCharm and try to adopt it as my primary IDE for Python projects. So far, many things are really wonderful, like the refactoring tools, the AI toolbox, the constant level of memory usage and the editor in general.
But some things are at best called confusing, and I am not sure how to solve or deal with them.
Occasionally, you have to accept when you fail. Week notes are such a failure to me. My day job almost makes it impossible for me to collect anything helpful I want to reflect on during the weekend. But I love to write regularly.
So, let's try something new and also stick to the advice of Jeff — please publish and share more. His post also includes two further tips to keep in mind.
Two weeks ago, I published my article UV - I am (somewhat) sold. Since then, a lot has changed for me. I switched all my personal projects to uv from poetry. I have set up a plan how and when to convert our company projects to uv. I am a fan. (And I still hope that I don't get stomped by the elephant.) After my post, I received a lot of feedback and also found some interesting follow-ups, that I want to share with you.
A bit more than a week ago, I posted this on Mastodon after I read several posts in a long thread on using UV for Python projects. Simon has created a blog post summing up and linking to the most significant posts in this long thread — uv under discussion on Mastodon.
Now, a week later, I have to admit that I was wrong. I still stand with my opinion that the speed improvement is not crucial to me, but it is of course nice to have.
