Ruff flagged an unused import in Alembic's https://env.py

Quick fix: ignore the linter :)
`# noqa: F401`

Instead this time I stopped and asked:
> why is this import here if I never use it?

Task finished != you've learned something.

I think this is becoming increasingly important these days!
Yes, use AI / agents, but stay knowledgeable.

That's why I encourage you now more than ever to keep blogging + teaching; it forces you to really internalize things. 🚀

Coding is nice, talking about code can be even more interesting.

#Rust platform feedback / request:
> I am missing the discussion about different solutions I remember from PyBites. That was the best part of the platform for me.

Great idea and live now! 🎉

"Can AI replace the teacher?"

My students gave me a unanimous answer this week: No.

No matter how polite, pleasing, or instant AI tools are, they can't replace the human back-and-forth.

Parsing walls of generated text doesn't equate to deep understanding.

I’ve noticed something about myself:

When I consistently do a few things each day
- a workout
- read something inspiring
- make an important connection
- write something professionally (e.g. blog)
- journal my thoughts

... I’m noticeably better mentally.
