Dear Fediverse, I am about to step up into my first role as a tech lead (*context in follow-up post) and would like to ask some questions to help me prepare & improve:

Groups:

• Technical: Devs, DevOps, Infra
• Product: Marketing, UX/Design, etc
• Business: HR, management C-roles.

Questions:

1. What are your initial thoughts when you hear you'll be getting a new tech lead?
2. What are your hopes & expectations for them?
3. What are your concerns when a new "tech lead" is hired?
4. What changes do you hope for, or expect?

Please add your colour to your reply & poll.

Lastly, if you have other advice for someone who wishes to be the best possible tech lead of their teams.

Hi y'all, this has become a bit more important now. I learned this week that my current contract will not be renewed for funding reasons. Please see the quoted post for more info! ​​

A couple US or India #WFH positions opening up for 24/7 support ( includes #weekend and #holiday shifts )

US roles are US daytimes, India roles are the other 16 hours of day

DM me if you're interested ( job listings coming soon )

We should also have some SRE and dev positions and a MongoDB DBA position soon

Ontem voltei a pegar no Django depois de 10 anos para um side-project. É como se fosse um regresso a um lugar onde um dia se foi feliz.

Tem a sua personalidade e tal, mas continuo a adorar os seus pormenores e as suas escolhas sobre como deve funcionar uma framework web.

Também fiquei muito agradado de ver que muito pouco mudou desde há uma década no que toca à forma fundamental como o Django faz as coisas. Talvez isso não seja apreciado pela juventude habituada a ciclos de upgrade rápidos e drásticos, mas pra mim foi um grande alívio ver que não tenho de me atualizar muito para montar um pequeno projeto.

Há gente djangueira por aí?

Python is not Java or C++: Python as a second language empathy

https://ballingt.com/python-second-language-empathy/

Lua is a popular language used in many programs for user scripts. One notable mention in the Unix world is NeoVim, although it's probably even more popular in the game industry. I recently discovered pocketpy, which aims to do the same but with a Python 3 language subset. In the post I just have published in my blog I show how to use pocketpy with C. Hope it's useful!

Imagine you're a #Gentoo packager, and you're about to bump a #Python package. Which of the release summaries sounds the most ominous to you?

Would #Python 3.14 be πthon?

I've found a counterintuitive bug in my software today. Maybe you want to check too if #Python timedelta.seconds is really doing what you expect

Oh and I wrote a note about it: https://leah.is/notes/not-all-seconds-are-the-same/

Petition to rename Python's __init__ method to __boa__ so we can call them Boa constructors

#Pyparsing API going back to version 1.0.0 (2003) has used a camelCase name scheme for its methods and argument names. In versions 3.0-3.1 (Oct 2021-Jun 2023), I added PEP8-compliant snake_case names, while maintaining synonym definitions for the legacy names for backward compatibility.

Soon, pyparsing will begin emitting DeprecationWarnings for the legacy names. To ease this transition, the next release 3.2.2 will include a utility to convert in place scripts that use the legacy names. #python

"Oh? #TheFinals again?" I hear you say. "I thought this man was allergic to scheduling something on a consistent, easy to follow weekly basis"

Hey everyone, what's cooking in the open-source universe? I just stumbled upon something that's seriously mind-blowing.

So, there's this Python library pretending to be a music tool (automslc), but get this – it's actually illegally downloading songs from Deezer! And the worst part? It turns your computer into an accomplice in a huge music piracy operation. Seriously, a digital pirate cove.

And then there's this npm saga with @ton-wallet/create... Crypto wallet emptied, just like that!

The moral of the story? Open source rocks, but blindly trusting everything is a recipe for disaster. Always double-check those dependencies! Automated scans are cool, but a real penetration test? That's pure gold.

Clients are always so appreciative when we can spot and fix this kind of stuff beforehand!

Now, I'm curious: What are your go-to methods for keeping your codebase squeaky clean and secure? Any tips or tricks you'd like to share?
